Our 2025 Aspirations
We are on a journey to create a diverse and inclusive workplace, so people can contribute their unique perspectives and ideas, grow great careers, and do their best work. Everyone should feel seen, heard, valued, and respected.
What is our winning aspiration for the future of 草莓视频? We aim to match the demographics of the communities in which we operate.
We know we have work to do. Our Values, 鈥淲e dare to do better every day鈥� and 鈥淲e own it,鈥� are commitments we make to each other and to consumers around the world. Our 2025 aspirations were simply a starting point.
Gender - We aim to achieve gender parity within management positions by 2025.

- In Brazil, by 2025, we aim for people who identify as Pretos e Pardos to represent 40% of the salaried employee population.

As we continue our journey, we will set aspirations in additional countries within our global footprint.
Inclusion - We aim to see engagement survey results in the top quartile. - We will continue seeking out external recognition as a company that values inclusion.
Our Workforce Representation
Our annual EEO-1 Reports are available for download below. The EEO-1 Report is a snapshot in time of our U.S. demographics and based on categories prescribed by the U.S. federal government. These categories are not necessarily representative of how our industry or workforce is organized. The information provided in our annual Environmental Social Governance Report offers a more accurate representation of our progress toward diversity, inclusion, and belonging. To align with U.S. government reporting requirements, data in the EEO-1 Report uses traditional gender categories of male and female. At 草莓视频, we deeply respect that gender is nonbinary; reporting in this manner does not represent our position on the issue.
