Diversity Programs

We view diversity as a critical component of our success – both within our company and within the communities in which we operate. Internally, we have been implementing our enhanced diversity and inclusion plan to attract and retain talented employees.

(See Supplier Diversity as well as the Workplace sections of the full report for more information on our programs.)

We also fund several external initiatives to provide new opportunities for individuals of diverse backgrounds, including:

• NAACP Law Fellows Program. We have been the primary funding source for the Law Fellows Program of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its Baltimore, Maryland, headquarters.
• Scholarships. In 2007, we contributed nearly $300,000 to scholarship programs that include diversity as a criterion, including: Historically Black Colleges and Universities, 100 Black Men of America, Hispanic Scholarship Fund, Asian and Pacific Islander Scholarship Fund, National Black MBA Association, National Society of Hispanic MBAs, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Society of Women Engineers, and the University of Michigan Gay and Lesbian Alumni Society.
