CG SCHMIDT AWARDED DELOITTE WISCONSIN 75 DISTINGUISHED PERFORMER IN DEI

[Milwaukee, WI, September 26, 2023] – CG Schmidt is proud to announce its recent achievement of Deloitte’s Wisconsin 75™ Distinguished Performer Award in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) category. In addition to this prestigious accolade, CG Schmidt is ranked No. 67 among the Wisconsin 75™ largest private companies in the state based on sales revenue. 

The DEI award recognizes CG Schmidt as a company that optimizes opportunities found in the intersections among cultures, values, and perspectives that has made a positive impact within the company, among employees and throughout the community. CG Schmidt executes a vision for a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce in three areas: community outreach, workforce development and professional development. The firm hosts diversity pipeline sessions and prequalification services, seeks out small and local businesses to engage in mentorship, and encourages hiring of Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women Business Enterprises (WBEs). CG Schmidt has partnered with 148 underrepresented subcontractors, with 74 of these firms currently working on active projects. 

CG Schmidt’s president, Eric Schmidt thanked, congratulated and acknowledged the company’s community partners who have made CG Schmidt’s DEI initiatives possible.

“As an industry leader, we recognize our responsibility to positively impact our communities, and we’re extremely proud to invest in the communities we serve,” said Schmidt. “Only through ongoing focus and action can we build a stronger and more inclusive community, together.” 

“As we celebrate the achievements of these 75 enterprises, we are reminded of the driving force they represent in fueling economic growth and contributing to the vibrant tapestry of our state. Deloitte is proud to recognize the economic impact of these 75 private companies in Wisconsin —the Wisconsin 75. This year we will not only celebrate the individual successes of each of these organizations, but also the collective impact of private companies in powering Wisconsin’s economy,” said P.J. DiStefano, Wisconsin managing partner of Deloitte LLP.   

CG Schmidt previously ranked No. 67 on the 2022 Wisconsin 75 list and has been featured on the list numerous times. Additionally, CG Schmidt achieved a distinguished performer award in the diversity category in the 2017 Wisconsin 75™ awards.   

Deloitte’s annual Wisconsin 75 list salutes the largest privately held Wisconsin-based companies. These companies play a key role in the state’s economy. Wisconsin 75 award winners are selected based on annual sales revenue.
