Governance and leadership: We believe leadership advocacy and support of our inclusion efforts are critical to creating the culture we strive to have. Each of our senior leaders is responsible for creating inclusion plans for their respective organizations and ensuring their talent pipelines reflect the diversity of our talent pool. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer review inclusion progress throughout the year, including during our senior-level talent reviews. Our management team also supports our inclusion efforts as sponsors of our employee networks. Our progress In 2021, we continued to support key initiatives that help to develop and reinforce an inclusive culture at General Mills. In addition to these initiatives, our actions to advance equity in representation are highlighted on the next page. Allyship: More than 2,200 General Mills employees have committed to their allyship journey to authentically support individuals and communities who have been marginalized or overlooked. Courageous Conversations: Now in its fifth year, our Courageous Conversations initiative brings together employees to have candid discussions in a safe and supportive setting about important issues affecting our work and our lives. The conversations are designed to build empathy, productive discourse and employee engagement. Inclusion contacts: Our library of inclusion contacts now has more than 300 topics. Generally used at the beginning of a meeting, these contacts create space for team members to share experiences and perspectives, foster discussion and educate and inform teams about events, celebrations and holidays in order to build empathy and understanding. Employee networks: Our employee networks help build a culture of belonging by bringing together colleagues for community building, networking, professional development and community outreach. Our employee networks include: n Women’s Leadership Network (see related story on page 50) n Betty’s Family Network (LGBTQ+) n Asian Leader Network n Black Champions Network n The Familia Network n Veterans Network n Disability Network r Members of the Bettys’ Family Network led Pride celebrations at General Mills’ headquarters in 2021.
