In 2022, we launched our first-ever annual Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Impact report. The report reflects our commitment to fully and transparently communicate our progress in making our company more diverse and inclusive. It includes details on our progress, including our hiring and retaining of talented professionals from underrepresented groups and our continued efforts to understand the identities, intersectionalities and experiences of our people across our corporate, retail, distribution centers and plants worldwide.
Please see our 2021 DE&I Impact Report for more information.
Defining a clear, multi-faceted, global strategy was an imperative first step for us as we doubled down on our commitment to DE&I. Please see our 2021 DE&I Impact Report for more about our global DE&I strategy.
In 2021, we experienced growth across our corporate, distribution and retail populations. Although we saw a decrease in the overall percentage of representation for women, we made notable increases in their representation across our executive and top management levels. In the U.S., we’re also more diverse than a year ago, led by notable increases in our Black and Latinx populations.
