Our diversity, equity and inclusion strategy is based on three key pillars – representation, understanding and support. From senior executives to early career employees, we’re working to improve representation across all of our diverse groups. This will involve changes to how we manage talent internally and our approaches to external recruiting. 

The growth of the new DuPont will be driven by innovation. Innovation is created through ideas. The more perspectives we have around the table, the more ideas we can generate. That makes diversity and inclusion central to DuPont’s success as a company. Our high-performing culture and support for diverse communities and viewpoints helps us to attract the best talent in the market. But attracting diverse talent is only the beginning, because if people don't feel encouraged to bring their whole selves to work and contribute their best each day, they won’t stay.

We also want to understand the factors that enable or hinder inclusion in the company. Only when we understand where we are succeeding, or failing, can we define the appropriate interventions for improvement. We do this using survey data, interviews, focus groups, and feedback from our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). This research will help us establish metrics for tracking progress.
