Definition of Diversity and Inclusion

We recognize diversity as the collection of similarities and differences that we each carry with us at all times based upon the characteristics we were born with, the experiences we have had and the choices we have made.

We are committed to building a diverse workforce by providing an environment where diversity is actively sought, valued and leveraged in our workforce, workplace and marketplace and where each person has equal access to opportunities and is empowered to learn, grow and maximize his or her personal contribution.

Why Diversity and Inclusion is important to Ashland

Providing innovative solutions for our customers is the sustainable, competitive advantage that will help Ashland grow and prosper. Because our markets are increasingly diverse, these solutions can best be provided through the efforts of a diverse group of people.

Therefore, we will foster an environment where we recruit, develop and retain talented people, respecting and valuing the diversity of their contributions.
