Global Diversity

Over 30,000 Colgate People reflect the diverse richness of cultures around the globe. As a company, we celebrate differences, promote an inclusive environment, and value the contributions of all Colgate people. Our concept of diversity goes beyond that of race, creed, ethnicity and gender. We look to promote an inclusive environment and support the diversity of thinking that results from the differences in experiences, knowledge and background of all Colgate people. Diversity of thinking will help us continue to encourage the creativity and innovation necessary for our Company to maintain a competitive advantage in the global marketplace.

As part of our commitment to our greatest asset, our people, we are constantly strengthening our mentoring, training and work/life balance programs in an effort to ensure that all employees have access to professional and personal development opportunities.

We believe that our culture and values afford opportunities for everyone to have an important impact on the building of our business. We are constantly striving towards a more diverse workplace, which benefits the Company and enables us to more successfully meet the needs of our customers and consumers around the world.
