CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion Business Commitment
Our CEO, Bill Siwek, renewed the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion Pledge, further demonstrating TPI’s promise to create an inclusive culture where all associates can be themselves and have a sense of belonging. The pledge has four main goals:
- To continue to make our workplaces trusting places to have complex, and sometimes difficult, conversations about diversity and inclusion.
- To implement and expand unconscious bias education.
- To share best – and unsuccessful – practices.
- To create and share strategic inclusion and diversity plans with our Board.
This pledge signifies TPI’s dedication to engaging in challenging yet essential discussions pertaining to IDEA.
Global Day of Understanding
Annually, TPI CEO Bill Siwek and Chief People Officer Deane Ilukowicz host the Global Day of Understanding. During these courageous conversations, the duo facilitates conversations with associates from all levels of the organization, focusing on matters of inclusion, diversity, and equity. This year, they spoke with approximately 100 associates from around the world. Our senior leaders also spoke with regional associates in similarly structured conversations.
I am proud of the work we do and the inclusive culture we continue to build at TPI. I look forward to these meaningful and transparent conversations, as we collectively work towards creating a culture where everyone has a voice and is comfortable using it.
– Bill Siwek, President and CEO
