Why We Value Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Doing our part to bring about a better, more sustainable world means more than environmental initiatives. We’re also focused on critical social issues including diversity, equity and inclusion.
As a global organization with employees from wide-ranging nationalities and backgrounds, we strive to create a culture that encourages every individual to bring their unique experiences and perspectives to their work. We believe that building a workforce from a diverse representation of cultures, race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and physical capabilities is more than the right thing to do – it’s foundational to our success.
