A message from our CEO


Growing and embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into all aspects of our business and everyday work is a top priority for Barr. By supporting and encouraging individuals to show up authentically, Barr promotes a culture that values diverse perspectives and inspires both creativity and innovative problem-solving. This benefits everyone at Barr and our stakeholders—including clients.
