Accelerating Change from the Inside Out

Our commitment to inclusion and diversity is longstanding. We launched our first employee resource group (ERG) in 1985 and we launched a major inclusion and diversity strategy in 2010. Since then, we’ve significant strides with more women and more people of color in leadership roles at director level and above.

And we’re just getting started. With a clear focus on equity in the employee experience, we are re-calibrating our baseline. By deploying enterprise-wide inclusion training, establishing annual inclusion objectives, and launching a corporate internship program for students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities, stories are becoming our foundational strategies. The result? An ecosystem that is living its purpose from the inside out. As Multicultural Leadership and Development Symposium continues to develop diverse management, we will continue to harness this momentum to both expand our Global Supplier Diversity Program and aim for full gender parity by 2030.

We accelerate change when we embrace diversity from the inside out.
