“When I reflect upon the past two decades of our business, it’s clear to me that AEG’s diversity has been core to our success, and I am deeply proud of that,” said AEG Chairman Philip Anschutz. “By respecting and embracing our differences, encouraging openness, engaging with new and different ideas, and empowering people at all levels of our company, we have shaped a powerful team culture.”

“At AEG, diversity and inclusion are more than a corporate policy—they are embedded in everything we do,” said AEG President & CEO Dan Beckerman. “As the world’s leading sports and entertainment company, we aim to continue expanding these initiatives and evolving our practices not only because it is the ‘right thing to do,’ but because it adds value to our organization.”
