2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Expanding Our Social Handprint | Inclusion & Diversity | 216 INCLUSION & DIVERSITY In this chapter: ƒ 2030 GOALS ƒ OUR APPROACH ƒ INITIATIVES ƒ PERFORMANCE ƒ GOING FORWARD What does it take to build high-performing teams throughout an organization? Owens Corning believes it involves creating a culture of inclusion, where people are inspired to bring their authentic selves to work every day. We have long been committed to inclusion, because we recognize that it enables people to share their diversity of experience, which in turn leads to a greater diversity of thought in our teams — and through that, we are better equipped to succeed. A diverse environment is one that brings together a wide range of people from different backgrounds — racial, ethnic, gender, religious, language, socioeconomic, family, and cultural — as well as people with different sexual orientations, experiences, and interests. Our commitment to inclusion and diversity represents an expansion of our social handprint as it improves the quality of life for our people, making it an essential part of our approach to sustainability. Our inclusion & diversity efforts align with the following UN SDGs: Sustainability Materiality Definition: We aim to foster an inclusive and diverse environment, one which represents a range of people with various racial, ethnic, gender, religious, language, socioeconomic, family, and cultural backgrounds and different sexual orientations, experiences and interests, engaged and working together to create a fair, healthy, and high-performing organization. Inclusion enables employees to feel valued, understood, and inspired to bring their whole selves to work.
