HUNT VALLEY, Md., May 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- McCormick &
Company, Incorporated (NYSE: MKC), a global leader in flavor, was
recognized on DiversityInc's 2021 Top 50 list of Companies for
Diversity for the fifth year in a row. McCormick placed
47th overall in this year's ranking. This award is the
result of a highly competitive survey conducted by DiversityInc,
which highlights successes and best practices that promote the
growth and advancement of underrepresented groups in the
workplace.
"We are proud to be recognized as a 2021 DiversityInc Top 50
company for the fifth consecutive year," said Lawrence E. Kurzius, Chairman, President and CEO
of McCormick & Company. "This honor underscores our belief in
the 'Power of People' which drives our continued commitment to
diversity and inclusion and is the foundation of our efforts. Our
leadership development programs, expanded supplier diversity
initiatives, and continued support for communities where we live,
work and operate are making an impact."
McCormick's 2021 ranking was the result of the Company's
Ignite leadership development program for women designed to
help participants manage career headwinds, as well as its robust
supplier diversity program which focuses on enhancing relationships
with businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans and the LGBTQ
community. This year, McCormick's recognition also reflects its
philanthropy in support of communities, as it donated over
$10 million amid the COVID-19
pandemic to support restaurant and hunger relief efforts as well as
social justice organizations.
"We're honored to be included on this prestigious list for our
diversity and inclusion efforts and we know there is more work to
be done. We continue to do our part to serve as a champion for
equality and to improve lives. We want to also ensure that
McCormick remains a great place to work for everyone," said
Kurzius.
The Top 50 survey has been tabulated since 2001 and reflects
DiversityInc's mission to bring education and clarity to the
business benefits of diversity.
