Diversity and Inclusion Contributes to Performance, Innovation and Growth
There are many benefits to a workplace that is welcoming to employees of different backgrounds, life and work experiences, races, ethnicities and gender.
Diversity of people creates diversity in thought and perspective, which in turn leads to new approaches to problem solving, solution development, collaboration – and innovation.
A diverse workforce also allows an organization to foster greater empathy for the many kinds of customers and communities it serves.
We strive to be a leading player in the area of inclusiveness, embracing and promoting all types of difference.

A Focus on Supplier Diversity
Since 2019, diversity has been included in the CSR criteria considered when selecting suppliers, in the same way as their carbon reduction and commitment to the circular economy.
This generates economic opportunity for historically under-represented suppliers, including minority-, veteran- and women-owned businesses.
