Weaving diversity, equity, and inclusion into all we do
Our vision
When it comes to DEI, we strive to create a culture of belonging, core to our values, that embraces the unique experiences and diverse backgrounds of our people in order to create a stronger, more innovative and successful team.
Our principles
Across C.H. Robinson, we embrace diversity and strive to give everyone access to the same opportunities. We do this through a set of principles that guide our day-to-day work:
- Social and racial inequalities exist; so we work to remove barriers to success for all.
- DEI is embedded in our values and we will continue to integrate into all aspects of our business to ensure long-term, sustainable change.
- Our differences make us stronger and better able to meet the needs of our customers, carriers, people, and communities.
- Every employee plays an active role in creating a culture of inclusion and belonging where all people can contribute and thrive.
Our commitments
Our work as an organisation is driven by the following DEI commitments, which guide our decisions:
- Foster a culture of inclusivity and belonging where all employees feel valued and empowered to share their diverse opinions.
- Build high-performing, diverse leadership teams across the business.
- Hire and retain a diverse workforce that represents the communities where we live and work.
- Invest in business and community partnerships that support our diversity and inclusion commitments.
- Hold ourselves accountable and ensure we are all responsible for the success of this work.
Internal and external commitment to DEI
Employee Resource Groups
Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are company-supported, employee-led groups that focus on historically underrepresented dimensions of diversity in business. We have also created resources for those interested in starting additional groups or chapters. Current ERGs include B.L.A.C.K., LatinX, Pride, and Women.
External Pledges
C.H. Robinson is a proud signee of external pledges that help reinforce our values and commitments to diversity and inclusion. Included in these pledges are The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion and The Parity Pledge for women and people of color. These public commitments support our values and efforts to hold ourselves accountable to ensuring our work is actionable and measurable.
