Key Statements

"We need that creativity. It's through diversity that we have those discussions, the questioning, the searching for solutions, and the continuous improvement mentality."

"Diversity will help us with better thinking, which leads to better outcomes and better long term results. And I think diversity is also the fuel for innovation, which is exactly what we want to be doing, not just today, but in the long term."

"Without a doubt we need the diversity of backgrounds, skill sets, ethnicities, life experiences, socioeconomic status, religion, you name it, because those differing experiences on ideas bring a richer fabric of ideas into an innovation type environment."

"For over seven years now, we have been on a journey to improve our awareness about the importance of diversity and inclusion, but also to ultimately improve our representation of diverse groups and ensure a workplace free of systemic bias."
