We believe embracing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) throughout our company enables our people and our business to succeed. It is equally important in every region where Lear operates.

This month, we are launching a new campaign called Together We Belong with actions to Drive awareness and engagement, Educate our employees and Fund organizations committed to change. We will be kicking off virtual DEI training and cascading through the company, hosting virtual events and panels, and conducting a global survey on the topic. Before the end of the year, we will announce funding for DEI causes and begin promoting related volunteer opportunities among employees.

DEI is a critical part of our company and our leaders drive that change. Lear has formed an Executive Diversity Council to develop a comprehensive DEI strategy, prioritize activities, and drive accountability and results. We are looking forward to our new Chief Diversity Officer, Derrick Mitchell, continuing to make progress in supporting one of our core values to Be Inclusive.

As we make these resources available, I am asking you to #ListenLearnLead. Invest your time and energy to take action and create a more inclusive environment here and in your community. Get involved in one of our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs); these groups have worked to create a more inclusive environment at Lear.

Join us in achieving our DEI vision of Wherever you come from, whoever you are, your ideas and thoughts are heard. No matter where you are in the company you feel accepted, valued and have the opportunity to grow.

As a diverse team we are more innovative, make better decisions and achieve faster results.

We are all in this together, and we can lead the change.
