Valuing differences means business

As a global organization we see diversity and inclusion as a source of strength. It is important that our employees feel valued, respected and have an opportunity to share their ideas and perspectives. In addition, we foster a culture that celebrates differences in our employees, our suppliers and our communities. 

Employee councils 

Employee Resources Groups are employee initiated and led.  These groups help build awareness, understanding and mutual respect among coworkers. The Employee Resource Groups are open to all employees and contribute to an inclusive culture by providing opportunities for employees to share their experiences and expertise. In addition, the Employee Resource Groups provide members with opportunities to: 

• Add value to the overall Cargill strategy
