Diversity is an essential part of the way we do business at Honeywell. As
a global technology leader, we have 128,000 employees operating in more
than 100 countries, and every day we broaden that global presence a little
bit more. Today 55 percent of our employees work outside the United
States. Close to 50 percent of our sales are generated outside the U.S.
We are proud of our growing role in the global marketplace, and we
recognize that key to this growth is a commitment to value and respect
every employee, supplier and customer with whom we work.
Decades ago, diversity was typically defined in terms of race, gender,
nationality, sexual orientation and disability. That focus was effective in
generating awareness, expanding mindsets and opening up opportunities
to all. Today’s rapidly evolving business environment requires an even
more demanding definition of diversity—one that builds on those core
elements and becomes ever-more inclusive.
At Honeywell, we see diversity as the foundation of a culture that
promotes respect, understanding and appreciation of different
perspectives, backgrounds and experiences. It’s what enables our
employees to generate new and better ideas faster … to collaborate and
innovate more effectively … and ultimately to deliver products and
services that meet the needs of our customers around the world. In all its
forms, diversity provides the energy to fuel our high-performance culture
and help Honeywell achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.
