Creating a culture of belonging and inclusion

We are convinced that striving for gender equality creates a better life for all. We’re committed to everyday actions, aiming for gender balance in all levels of the organization, and providing opportunities for all genders to grow and advance. We empower women in our business and in local communities, holding ourselves accountable for reaching our gender aspirations in senior leaders and management.

Our SoTogether global advisory board drives our global gender equality strategy, and our employees can join one of our 23 SoTogether Gender Networks.

We have many actions in place to elevate inclusion in our organization, address unconscious bias, and provide growth opportunities for all regardless of race, ethnicity, and refugee status. We aspire to hire more refugees globally. We seek to empower women, support health and well-being and stimulate community growth through employment with indigenous communities.

We also evaluate the racial and ethnic composition of our leadership teams, aspiring to reflect the same diversity in our leadership teams as we see in our employees throughout the organization.

One in seven people worldwide have a disability. As a global employer, we want to attract talent and enable everyone to reach their full potential. To realize this ambition, we raise awareness through e-learning modules that help our teams respond to mental health signs and we’re a member of The Valuable 500 – an international initiative that unlocks value for people living with disabilities.

Disability Voice, at the global level, provides learning opportunities across multiple aspects of disabilities, partnering on the Mental Health and Well-being Portal, advocating for self-identification and celebrating international celebrations in the people with disabilities community.

Whether you’re eager to undertake responsibilities early on, or looking to change course later in life, we support all generations in their path to growth. Our generational networks help us leverage both the progressive mindset of our emerging talent and the knowledge of our longest serving employees. Through our schools and campus connections we can also look to the future generations not yet part of our workplace.
