Amcor strongly values the diversity of our global workforce. DE&I are qualities represented in "Being Amcor," which defines who we are as a company, what is most important, what success looks like in the eyes of our stakeholders and the capabilities that enable us to achieve our aspirations.
We are stronger as a result of the diverse talents, styles, cultures and experiences of our people. With different perspectives come different solutions that enable us to win for our stakeholders. We are one global team in which
everyone has a voice and can make a difference.
At Amcor, we are committed to providing an inclusive environment that empowers all of our people to achieve their full potential. Being THE leading global packaging company requires us to create a culture in which everyone feels valued, encouraged to speak and compelled to listen. Outperformance is enabled by our ability to embrace diverse thoughts, knowing that they provide us a competitive advantage. We are at our best when we do the right thing at work and in our communities, and provide an inclusive environment in which everybody thrives and unleashes their full potential.
In FY23, we took several exciting steps forward in our DE&I journey. We aligned our DE&I priorities and roadmap, setting a strategic direction to help us reach our global aspiration of driving engagement through a more inclusive Amcor culture. This global strategy will allow us to more effectively share and leverage best practices and learnings from the activities taking place across Amcor.
Our global DE&I strategy consists of four key pillars: talent, community, awareness and training, and data and reporting. We developed these pillars through internal and external data analysis, extensive direct consultation, focus groups, one-on-one discussions, and feedback from key stakeholders. We also took into account learnings from the work that had already taken place in our business groups.
The community pillar of our DE&I strategy focuses on supporting existing employee resource groups (ERG) and developing new ERGs as the need arises, as well as supporting DE&I activities within our manufacturing sites and local communities.
Through our global network of ERGs, we continued supporting employees across our global operations in FY23 as they joined together in a range of employee-driven initiatives to build connections, share best practices and contribute to a more diverse and inclusive workplace.
