Tech companies such as Dell, Intel and many others have also made financial commitments to various organizations to support equality. In non-tech sectors, companies such as Walmart announced that it would contribute $100 million over five years to create a new center for racial equity. Many companies, including Cisco, have Corporate Social Responsibly programs. These programs started with a heavy emphasis on sustainability. Many efforts also extended to deeper commitments that support the fair and ethical treatment of labor globally and creating equal pay within roles. However, these promises are useless if an organization doesn't develop a system for uncovering inequalities and holding themselves accountable to take action.
