This prestigious certification arrives as ASCI celebrates its 25th anniversary, reflecting the company's long-standing commitment to diversity and inclusion. ISO 30415:2021 is a globally recognized standard that encourages organizations to adopt comprehensive and effective diversity and inclusion strategies across their business operations. “Securing the HRSI certification underscores our dedication to embedding diversity and inclusion at the core of what we do," said Christine Hopkins, President & CEO of ASCI. “This year, as we mark a quarter-century of excellence, this achievement showcases the efforts and dedication of our team to meet and exceed critical global standards.”

The certification by HRSI is a testament to ASCI’s proactive approach to diversity and inclusion, highlighted by several key initiatives. Among these, ASCI participates in the SkillBridge program, assisting transitioning veterans, and ASCI is also a proud Military Spouse Employment Partnership Small Business Partner (MSEP SB) under the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy. Additionally, ASCI holds certification as a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) from the SBA. These programs demonstrate ASCI’s commitment to supporting diverse employment opportunities within military communities.
