Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Fuel Our Culture of Belonging for All Associates
What does "diversity, equity, & inclusion" mean to us? It represents a commitment to creating environments where all associates feel valued, respected, and empowered. It means celebrating what makes each of us who we are and embracing the ways that we are better together. As an organization we strive to translate the "24 dimensions of diversity" into positive outcomes for our workforce, culture, community, and marketplace. By recognizing and sharing the celebration of our differences, we make a bigger difference in this world together.
We take pride in reflecting on our progress, while recognizing and planning for the many opportunities to continue the important work ahead of us. See below our areas of focus and how we’re working to evolve.

24 Dimensions of Diversity
The Nestlé Purina Tree of Inclusion is much more than what we see above the surface. Together, we make up a complex mixture of roots, branches, and leaves where we find commonalities and differences. Our talents, skills, abilities and experiences give visible life to the whole tree. Just look up and see all of us.
Each of us plays a part in helping the company meet and exceed our expectations for becoming the most welcoming environment for our associates, contractors, customers, consumers, and guests. So, together we celebrate what we’ve accomplished through education, events, ambassadorship, and more, as we challenge each other to embrace what’s next.
