Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
By increasing equitable access and opportunities across all aspects of our business, we can have an extraordinary impact. That's why we embed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices across our global network of employees, as well as across our supply chain, including farmers, ranchers, and agricultural communities. Our DEI aspirations include progress in representation, as well as how we fulfill our commitment to equity and inclusion more broadly. This holistic approach centers around three key areas - the workforce, the workplace, and the marketplace.
We Are Cargill
We are proud of our role in the world and the breadth of influence we have as a global business. We understand our collective impact begins with our actions and is felt by our employees and our communities. From every level of our organization, we foster a true sense of allyship by welcoming, supporting, accepting and encouraging every person to be authentically themself.
Our Path Forward
To achieve our purpose and feed a growing population, we need diverse perspectives at the table, so we can do our best work. That's why we're focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, creating an inclusive environment and removing barriers to ensure equitable access.

Lead for Results
We rely on data and insights to hold ourselves accountable and guide how we connect with candidates, develop our talent and build an inclusive environment that enables our colleagues to grow. Our Business Resource Groups support that work with essential perspective that enhances our recruiting and development efforts.

Shape our Communities
We are an active ally in our communities and in our supply chains on issues of race and discrimination. Our focus includes closing the education gap, leveraging our employee volunteer efforts and increasing the participation and profitability of farmers from underrepresented groups, to name a few.
Our Commitment
At Cargill, our actions match our values. We are committed to making the future of food and agriculture more diverse, equitable and inclusive.
