"We are proud and grateful for this recognition of our inclusion and diversity efforts, as we continue in our commitment to create a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging," said Camille Cunningham Pierce, senior director of Global Inclusion & Diversity at Whirlpool Corporation. "We are undoubtedly more successful because of the acceptance and inclusion within our walls. Beyond fostering a positive environment for our employees, inclusion helps ensure that our company, and the products we offer, reflect and meet the needs of the diverse populations we serve around the world."
