We are making progress in hiring people of color at senior levels of the Company. We saw a decrease in hiring Latin senior managers/directors due to a slowdown in hiring overall in the US that resulted from COVID-19. In 2023 we will work to address this.

You can find our most recently filed Federal Employer Information EEO-1 Reports here, representing our US employees as of December 2021. The categories in the EEO-1 are prescribed by the federal government and do not represent how our workforce is organized or how we measure our progress. As a result, we believe the information reported above may provide a more useful and meaningful reflection of our company’s diversity.
