SWORDS, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ingersoll Rand (NYSE:IR), a world leader in creating comfortable,
sustainable and efficient environments, has joined 100 global
organizations on Thomson Reuters’ third annual Diversity
& Inclusion (D&I) Index.
This is the first year that Ingersoll Rand has been recognized by
Thomson Reuters as leading the way in embedding diversity and inclusion
into its company strategy. It has been ranked number 37 and is one of
only three industrial companies to be named.
“We strive each day to build an environment that is inclusive and
respectful at its core. When people feel a sense of belonging, they are
more engaged and deliver stronger performance. This creates a virtuous
cycle of success for our people, customers, shareholders and
communities,” said Michael W. Lamach, chairman and chief executive
officer at Ingersoll Rand. “We believe that our ongoing investments in
people, development, engagement and culture set us apart. We’re excited
to be recognized as a leader in these efforts.”
The company has focused on creating an engaging, inclusive culture that
fosters innovation, placing as much focus on culture as it does on
growth and execution. Some of these areas of emphasis are creating
inclusive leaders and teams; fostering a globally diverse workforce;
creating a progressive and inclusive environment; and connecting
customers and suppliers.
Ingersoll Rand has also made public commitments to Paradigm
for Parity, to bring gender parity to its leadership structure by
2030, and to the CEO
Action for Diversity & Inclusion, the largest CEO-driven
business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
The D&I Index, launched in 2016, ranks the top 100 publicly traded
companies globally with the most diverse and inclusive workplaces, as
measured by 24 metrics across four key categories: Diversity, Inclusion,
People Development and News Controversies. The Index is then calculated
by weighing each metric based on importance in the market and how each
company compares with its peers.
