CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) today announced that Together
We Grow—a consortium ADM began in 2016 to focus on educating, recruiting
and retaining a more diverse workforce in the agriculture sector—has
been recognized with Profiles in Diversity Journal’s 2018
Innovations in Diversity Award.
Profiles in Diversity Journal is a quarterly publication
dedicated to promoting and advancing diversity and inclusion in the
corporate, government, nonprofit, STEM and higher education sectors. The
award honored 27 corporations, organizations and institutions that have
developed innovative solutions in the area of workforce diversity,
inclusion and human equity. Together We Grow was one of ten initiatives
recognized with a finalist award this year.
“The world population is expected to grow by 35 percent by 2050, and we
will need to double our food supply in that same time frame. The only
way to address this monumental challenge is through an industry-wide
coalition of people and organizations dedicated to the cause, and that’s
what led to the conception of Together We Grow in 2016,” said Mike
D’Ambrose, ADM senior vice president and chief human resources officer.
“We are proud to work together with such an impressive group of
companies, academic institutions and influential industry groups to help
build and sustain a more diverse workforce in the ag industry that
better reflect the communities where we live and work.”
