As a global company, we not only embrace and value diverse individuals, opinions, cultures and abilities, but we actively seek them. It's the unique perspectives and experiences of our associates that have enabled us to pioneer so many innovative products and technologies. It starts with recruiting and retaining diverse talent. But there's more. We continually look for new ways to leverage our globally diverse organization. This includes building on internal programs and diversity councils, as well as serving under-represented consumer markets. The goals: cultivate an inclusive environment where everyone can learn from one another and leverage diversity as a competitive advantage.

Exceptional products are an outgrowth of an inclusive workplace  where ideas are free to thrive.  The development of breakthrough  products is an example of the way our employees anticipate and meet the needs  of customers in a global marketplace.  It all begins  with a diverse workforce committed to developing exciting,  innovative products.
