Employee Resource Groups

Our employee resource groups (ERGs) bring people together around common interests or backgrounds and in this way, contribute to the company’s growth and innovation. These volunteer-led groups are a critical part of our efforts to bolster our inclusive and diverse work environment. Our employee resource groups help �鶹ӳ�� in three key ways:

Workplace: How we acquire, develop and retain talented team members.
Marketplace: How we make our products relevant to increasingly diverse consumers.
Community: We continue to be a good corporate citizen in the areas where we live and work.

These volunteer-led groups are a critical part of our efforts to bolster our inclusive environment. All team members are welcome and encouraged to participate in any ERG that interests them.
