June 20 2019 - 9:00AM
Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ and STZ.B), a leading
beverage alcohol company, announced today that that Bill Newlands,
president and chief executive officer, is joining CEO Action for
Diversity & Inclusion™ - the largest CEO-driven business
commitment to advance diversity and inclusion within the
workplace.
The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion recognizes that
change often happens when there’s support at the executive level.
More than 600 CEOs of the world’s leading companies and business
organizations are leveraging their voices to advance diversity and
inclusion in the workplace by placing individual accountability on
all—leaders and employees—to create inclusive
environments.
“At Constellation, we work hard to foster an inclusive culture
that is characterized by diversity in background and thought, and
that reflects our consumers and the communities where we live and
work,” said Newlands. “Signing the CEO Action for Diversity &
Inclusion pledge is just one more way we can bring this culture to
life. Committing myself and this organization through the pledge is
the right thing to do – for our communities, workforce, and
business.”
Constellation Brands’ diversity and inclusion strategy
prioritizes insights, training and education, and employee
engagement programs. The company is continuously developing a suite
of impactful resources, tools and education courses – from
unconscious bias training, cross-cultural leadership, working with
generations, inclusive leadership and more – to support employees
in building cultural awareness and recognizing and managing the
barriers to inclusion. Business Resource Groups offer support and
empowerment opportunities for women, early career professionals,
LGBTQ, and Hispanic/Latinx employees.
An area of focus for Constellation is continuing to enhance
female perspectives within the business and to include more voices,
insights, and viewpoints that reflect the company’s consumers.
Approximately one-third of Constellation Brands’ leadership
positions are held by women today, and in the last five years, the
company has doubled the number of women in senior roles.
Additionally, Constellation supports the development of women
through the Women’s Leadership Development Program and innovating
products that resonate with female consumers.
