SOCIAL Diversity & Equal Opportunity Inclusion & Diversity is one of Whirlpool Corporation’s Enduring Values and remains a critical strategic priority for our organization. Our global strategy for Inclusion & Diversity is focused on three pillars. First, we are focused on creating and maintaining an inclusive workplace that brings out the best in our employees, where all employees feel welcomed, valued, respected and heard. Second, we must continue to build a diverse workforce that represents the diversity of our consumer base, with a specific focus on female representation globally and Black representation in the U.S. Third, we are focused on creating a vibrant marketplace by building the right strategic partnerships and relationships with diverse organizations. This includes our own supplier network as well as our partnerships in local communities around the world.

This means celebrating our differences and, more importantly, recognizing the value those differences bring to our organization.
