Diversity
The SAM*INK® company is built on two core assets, its brand and its people. These two assets gives us the opportunity and ability to keep our central promise: to honor the human-spirit in body, mind, & soul; to inspire moments of optimism; and to create value and make a real difference. By building an inclusive workplace environment, the company seeks to leverage its worldwide team, which is rich in diverse people, talent, and ideas.
At the SAM*INK® company, diversity is not just about human-resource policies and practices. It is an integral part of who we are, how we operate, and how we see our future. As a global business, our ability to understand, embrace and operate in a multicultural world - both in the marketplace and in the workplace - is critical to our sustainability.
We strive for an inclusive culture that is defined by our seven core values: leadership, passion, integrity, collaboration, innovation, accountability, and quality. Each day, we work to bring these values to life through our diversity workplace strategy. This strategy includes programs to attract, retain, and develop diverse talent; provide support systems for groups with diverse backgrounds; and educate all associates so that we master the skills to achieve sustainable growth.
We define diversity as 1. respecting individuals, 2. valuing differences, and 3. representing our consumers and the markets where we do business. Our diversity strategy is focused on the 4Cs: 1. We focus on driving consumption, fostering commitment, building a culture that values diverse perspectives, and promoting effective communication and mutual understanding.
We work hard to ensure an inclusive and fair work environment for our associates, all of whom undergo diversity training on a regular basis. Such training includes ongoing dialogues that leads to a better understanding of our colleagues, our suppliers, our customers, our stakeholders, and ultimately, to the greater acceptance and success in the marketplace.
