Diversity & Inclusion

A few of our results since establishing a formal program have included a steady increase in our diversity hires and promotions, and an increase of our diversity in management level positions. Our recruiting teams have increased our visibility in minority, women, military, and veteran-based publications and websites, as well as at recruiting events and colleges, universities, and technical schools. We have expanded our student internship and co-op programs. We ensure that our diverse employees are provided with opportunities to participate in our learning, development, and mentorship programs. As part of succession planning, we have identified diverse employees as successor candidates, high potential and emerging high potential employees. Under corporate leadership, we have established a Diversity Advisory Group to champion and recommend ideas to promote diversity and inclusion within the company. To complement the Diversity Advisory Group, we have established diversity actions teams at our facilities to further the vision, mission and goals of the program.

We are committed to hiring a more diverse workforce to resemble our communities and customers; fostering an environment that enables all employees to be part of a team, where they belong, feel valued, and cooperate together as a diverse workforce to achieve our business goals and objectives.

Leonardo has been included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) 2021, a modified market capitalization-weighted index that aims to track the performance of public companies committed to transparency in gender-data reporting. The index measures practices linked to the inclusion and enhancement of diversity, and represents a further tool for investors to assess company performance.
