At Sara Lee, we operate in a global and multi-cultural marketplace. Therefore, we believe that having a workforce comprised of people from different backgrounds and life perspectives working in every level and area of the organization is key to our success and critically important to our employees. Such an inclusive environment embodies who we are. In fact, be Inclusive is one of our core values and helping to create that environment is the responsibility of every employee.
As we continue becoming a more diverse and inclusive company we are:
-
Working across our global organization to achieve specific, measurable diversity and inclusion (D&I) recruitment, retention and engagement objectives;
-
Creating an infrastructure committed to driving the success of our D&I objectives;
-
Making supplier diversity a business imperative; and
-
Ensuring our diverse workforce is reflected in our brand and marketing strategies.
In making significant progress against each of these strategies, it is our goal to have our customers, consumers, suppliers and employees view Sara Lee and our brands as diverse and reflective of the multi-cultural world in which we live. This can assist us in achieving our vision to be the first choice of customers and consumers around the world.
