Caleres Named a Top 20 Finalist for 2022 NACD Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Awards

2022 Awards Recognize Exemplary Board Practices Related to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Caleres (NYSE: CAL) announced today that its Board of Directors is one of 20 that have been named as finalists for the 2022 National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Awards. The awards recognize boards that have improved their governance and created long-term value for stakeholders by implementing forward-thinking diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) practices.

The 10-member Caleres Board of Directors is 60 percent women and 20 percent racially/ethnically diverse. “Our Board make-up did not happen by accident. It is the result of a concerted effort to ensure that it reflects the consumers we serve. The expertise and experience of our diverse Board make us a stronger, more strategic company,” said Diane Sullivan, chairman and CEO of Caleres. “We’re honored to be recognized as a finalist in the NACD Awards.”

“Caleres has worked to achieve great strides in creating an equitable boardroom,” said NACD president and CEO Peter Gleason. “NACD is proud to honor Caleres for advancing DE&I in their boardroom and throughout their organization.”

Winners will be announced at the NACD DE&I Awards Gala at Gotham Hall in New York City on Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2022.

For more information on NACD’s commitment to the advancement of DE&I at the board level, and for further insights, trends, and perspectives on this issue, visit the NACD Center for Inclusive Governance™ and the NACD Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Resource Center.
