Business resource groups give our employees the opportunity to learn from one another and develop inclusive personal and professional connections. Our business resource groups include:

Mentorship programs are also an integral element in building an equitable workplace culture. We support formal mentorship programs through our business resource groups and key business units. 

Making an impact in our communities

We work every day to make an impact and drive equity for our employees, customers, partners and the communities where we live and work around the world.

How we’re doing our part: 

Supplier diversity program

Local businesses that spur economic development, stimulate job creation and generate growth are the foundation of our global communities.

Our supplier diversity program supports these communities, recognizing the need for and benefits of investing in diverse local businesses. It reinforces the growth of small businesses, as well as minority, women, LGBTQ+, and veteran-owned business enterprises, by giving them the opportunity to participate as suppliers and subcontractors of goods and services.
