Business Equity for Indy (BEI) is a joint venture between the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership and Indy Chamber, in collaboration with the Indianapolis Urban League, to grow a more inclusive business climate and build greater equity and economic opportunity for the Indy region's Black residents and people of color.

BEI has an opportunity for additional businesses and institutions to join its network of companies interested in implementing best practices, recommendations, and initiatives to support equity within their organizations. Member requirements focus on BEI's three pillars: People, Procurement, and Policy (the "3 P's").
