Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
At Amico Food and Beverage Limited, we are committed to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a core aspect of our business strategy. We believe that embracing diverse perspectives and creating an inclusive environment enhances innovation and drives business success.
Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives
Amico has implemented several initiatives to support DEI within our organization:
Inclusive Hiring Practices: We actively seek to hire individuals from various backgrounds, ensuring our workforce reflects the diverse communities we serve. This includes setting clear diversity goals and maintaining a robust pipeline of diverse talent at all levels of the organization (Food Dive) (ChooseRestaurants).
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs): These groups provide a platform for employees to connect, share experiences, and support one another. ERGs play a crucial role in fostering an inclusive culture and driving DEI initiatives from within (Ingredion).
Training and Development: We offer ongoing DEI training to all employees, helping them understand the importance of diversity and equipping them with the tools to contribute to an inclusive workplace. This includes training on unconscious bias, cultural competence, and inclusive leadership (Food Dive) (Ingredion).
Equitable Policies: Our policies are designed to ensure fairness and equity in all aspects of employment, from recruitment and promotions to compensation and benefits. We regularly review these policies to identify and address any potential barriers to inclusion (ChooseRestaurants).
Community Engagement: Beyond our internal efforts, Amico is committed to supporting diversity and inclusion in the broader community. This includes partnerships with diverse suppliers and community organizations focused on social justice and economic empowerment (Food Dive).
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
We recognize that achieving true diversity, equity, and inclusion is an ongoing journey. To ensure we are making progress, we regularly measure and report on our DEI efforts, seeking feedback from employees and stakeholders to identify areas for improvement. By fostering a culture of belonging where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued, we aim to create a workplace where all employees can thrive and contribute their best work.
At Amico, we believe that our commitment to DEI not only makes us a better company but also a better member of the global community, driving positive change and sustainable growth for the future.
