Ingredion releases its first diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) report.
In the first quarter, the company was recognized by Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index and the Human Rights Campaign for its policies and practices. The company is now further advancing its journey and progress in its inaugural DEI report.
“Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is at the heart of our purpose-driven culture,” says Jim Zallie, Ingredion's president and chief executive officer. “We strive to create an environment where diversity is celebrated and inclusion is embraced.
"This provides us the best opportunity to attract the best and brightest employees to drive an innovative culture focused on delivering sustainable growth for our shareholders.”
Sherri Dublin, Ingredion’s vice president of DEI, Culture and Communications, says the report reflects the dedicated work of its regional DEI councils who have spearheaded initiatives across our global organization.
“We remain inspired by what we have accomplished," says Dublin. "Together, we are helping to bring an Ingredion value to life and ensure that 'Everyone Belongs.'"
“The societal events of the past year and a half have coincided with our accelerated efforts to address racial inequities in the workplace, adds Zallie.
"By releasing this report and setting an ambitious DEI agenda, ensures that we will unlock the tools necessary to make meaningful change and live our company’s purpose to bring the potential of people, nature, and technology together to make life better," he concludes.
