DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION AND BELONGING (DEIB)
We believe diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are key components for developing innovative, multifaceted ideas and for supporting every employee.
We’re committed to providing equal opportunities in hiring and career development, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or other attributes. This is clearly expressed in our commitments to anti-discrimination, equal gender pay, and enabling free association of labor organizations.
We’ve also created a DEIB Committee and conduct mandatory DEIB training.
