Pinnacol Assurance, the state’s largest workers’ compensation insurance carrier, is committed to providing everyone an opportunity to succeed and building a stronger economy for Denver and the region. That’s why the organization has partnered with Prosper CO to amplify its work.

“Being involved with Prosper CO means we’re ensuring a strong and diversified economy – in every sense of the word,” said Edie Sonn, vice president of communications and public affairs at Pinnacol Assurance. “You can’t build a stable, functioning economy for the long term on a foundation of haves and have-nots.”

Pinnacol works with over 56,000 companies in almost every sector imaginable. This means they understand the opportunities that exist – both for their own organization and the organizations they serve – to make workplaces more equitable.

Pinnacol is already a leader in many different hiring practices, such as apprenticeships, but now they are looking beyond hiring to how they be a part of creating a more inclusive economy. One way that Pinnacol is taking the lead within their own organization is by diversifying their suppliers. Pinnacol works with roughly 11,000 vendors representing $200 million. By expanding opportunities for suppliers of all backgrounds to work with Pinnacol, the organization is helping to build the strongest, most diverse economy as possible in Colorado.
