Our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Mission & Vision
Mission: At Ingevity, we are committed to fostering Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB). Our success is fueled by a vibrant, team-oriented culture where people understand that our individual differences make a greater collective impact in every interaction, from peer-to-peer collaboration across regions to customer engagements. At the heart of our efforts, we aim to strengthen empathetic and inclusive leadership, cultivate a sense of safety and belonging, and structure our systems, policies and processes to enable employee success. Working as one team, we are building a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Vision: To build an inclusive culture where everyone feels respected and valued for their diverse experiences and backgrounds, fostering a sense of belonging.
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion
At Ingevity, DEIB is not just a buzzword—it's a fundamental aspect of who we are and what we stand for, and it aligns with our IngeviWay in Action culture, which has always been built on the principles of fairness, equality and respect. We know that our success is rooted in the backgrounds, experiences and identities that each person brings to the table. We firmly believe that by fostering an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging, we can unlock the full potential of every employee and achieve extraordinary results together.
"Our purpose is to purify, protect and enhance the world around us. Like the chemistries we create to solve complex customer challenges, Ingevity’s commitment to recruit and retain diverse views and foster inclusivity is the chemistry that propels our people to do their best work. Our goal is to ensure all employees have the opportunities and resources they need to thrive, realize their full potential and share in the company’s success today and well into the future."
