Kellogg is One of Top 50 Companies for Diversity in 2012
Kellogg Company’s long-standing commitment to diversity and inclusion was recognized when the company was named one of the ‘Top 50 Companies for Diversity’ in 2012 by DiversityInc, a leading global organisation focusing on diversity and inclusion. DiversityInc began recognising global companies that play a leading role in supporting and promoting diversity since it first published its ‘Top 50’ list in 2001. This year, more than 500 companies participated in the selection process. Kellogg has been previously recognized by DiversityInc as a ‘noteworthy’ company prior to making it into their Top 50.
There are four core areas DiversityInc considers when selecting its Top 50 companies: the CEO’s commitment to diversity and inclusion; human capital; corporate and organisational communication on diversity-related issues; and supplier diversity.
“The concepts of diversity and inclusiveness are at the heart of Kellogg’s values,” says president and chief executive John Bryant. “We are committed to growing our diverse workforce not only because it is the right thing to do, but also because it is critical to our ongoing success. A diverse and inclusive workforce is more nimble, more innovative, more connected to our customers and consumers, and more open to new ideas, particularly in this increasingly global economy.”
With sales of more than $13 billion in 2011, Kellogg Company is the world’s leading producer of cereals and a leading producer of snacks and frozen foods. Its brands are produced in 17 countries and marketed in more than 180 countries.
