Standing in solidarity with the Black community
We stand in solidarity with the Black community. Racism, discrimination, and oppression in any form or in any place are wrong. We are committed to speaking out against systemic racism, as our CEO Dan Arnold has done, and know we can and must do more to ensure equality and equity within our communities and to support our employees. We resolve to share our progress and actions on LPL.com and in our annual Corporate Sustainability Report.
