ADM is committed to developing the talent and creativity of employees. We nourish the entrepreneurial spirit, provide opportunities for employees to grow careers and reward efforts. As a result, ADM is making its mark on the world.
ADM’s culture promotes inclusion in all roles, at all levels. Our definition of diversity is broad, encompassing not only diversity in race, gender, ethnicity, economic and educational backgrounds; but also in experiences, perspectives and interests. But while our definition of diversity is wide-ranging, our focus on inclusion is precise.
At ADM, you will not see a diversity program that is about quotas and platitudes. You will see diversity and inclusion, a culture that is open to all ideas and respectful to all, that is evident every day, everywhere.
Our colleagues grow and advance with clear expectations, and are allocated resources for training, educational and career advancement.
Having an inclusive culture lets ADM and our employees cultivate innovation. We believe innovation arises from open-mindedness, multiple perspectives and willingness to experiment. When we put together people whose working and thinking styles vary, and encourage people to value other opinions, experimentation will follow. The results of those experiments are innovative solutions to business challenges.
As a part of our commitment to diversity, we recruit from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), including:
- North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University,
- Clark Atlanta University,
- Spelman College,
- Morehouse College,
- Tuskegee University, and
- Tennessee State University.
In addition, we have won diversity awards including a Best Diversity Company from Diversity/Careers and an HBCU Top Supporter award.
