• To promote the recruitment, development, and retention of diverse talent throughout the organization.

• To increase awareness, understanding and appreciation of diversity and inclusion throughout the organization.

• To leverage diversity in order to enhance our ability to anticipate and meet the changing needs of our consumers in the marketplace.
