LOS ANGELES -- (Business Wire)
Global nutrition company Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) announced today that in
its continued commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace,
and in recognition of the contributions diverse communities have made to
society, the Company is supporting two impactful initiatives, the CEO
Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ and the “I Am An Immigrant” public
awareness campaign. The Company has an unwavering commitment to
diversity and inclusion, with women making up 46% of the Company’s
managers and above worldwide, and 52% of its managers and above in the
U.S. are persons of color.
Reaffirming the Company’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) Richard P. Goudis is one of the business leaders
signing on to the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion, a collaboration
between more than 150 CEOs pledging to make their companies places where
individual experiences and perspectives are welcomed, and employees feel
empowered to discuss inclusion and diversity.
The Company also recognizes that immigrants with diverse backgrounds
have made significant contributions to our culture and community. In
recognition of these contributions and in celebration of the fourth
annual Immigrant Heritage Month, the Company is proud to support the “I
Stand With Immigrants” campaign, celebrating the contributions
immigrants have made in the United States.
“I believe it is important to create a great place to work with a caring
and supportive environment for all of our employees,” added Goudis.
“Joining this initiative is just one way we are demonstrating our
commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace, which is essential to
fostering a culture of innovation and ongoing positive change.”
The CEO Action initiative represents more than 50 industries across all
50 U.S. states and millions of employees globally, committing to take
action to address diversity as a pressing social issue. A full list of
partners can be found at CEOaction.com.
In demonstrating its commitment to the CEO Action initiative the Company
pledged to take three initial action steps to advance diversity and
inclusion in the workplace, including:
- Continue to cultivate workplaces that support an open dialogue on
complex, and sometimes difficult, issues surrounding diversity and
inclusion, so that colleagues gain greater awareness of each
other's experiences and perspectives
- Implement and expand unconscious bias education to better
facilitate open and honest conversations
- Share best known—and unsuccessful—practices in order to help
each other build and improve effective diversity programs
The “I Am An Immigrant” initiative is engaging with thousands of people
across the country and bringing together more than 250 companies and
non-profit organizations representing business leaders, artists,
entertainers, and elected officials to celebrate and lift up the
critical contributions of immigrants in our communities. To learn more

initiative, visit IAmAnImmigrant.com.
The Company was recently commended by the Hispanic Association on
Corporate Responsibility (HACR) for promoting diversity and keeping
Hispanic inclusion top of mind.
