41 Cargill 2020 Annual Report
Unconscious bias free
GRI 103-2, 103-3 |406
The company has objectively acted to curb discriminatory
behaviors and favor the construction of an inclusive work
environment. After testing the "blind resume" method in
the internship selection programs, Cargill has adopted
this model for other roles. Both for recruiting as well as for
selection, the age, gender, school of graduation, regional
nuances and other candidate peculiarities are omitted.
The purpose of this practice is to concentrate the process
on competencies the candidates have and minimize the
effect of unaware bias.

To fight discrimination, we maintain grievance channels,
open to the public that interacts with the company. Anyone
can present their grievances in an anonymous or identified
fashion.
After the initial analysis, the grievance undergoes an inves-
tigative process, in which the facts are determined by
means of document verification, surveys and interviews. In
sequence, professionals from the Human Resources, Legal,
Health, Safety and other areas elaborate recommenda-
tions and suggest an action plan, considering the identified
causes and the proposed resolution. The Cargill policy
strengthened the protection mechanisms for those who do
or participate in verifying the claims with a clear determina-
tion against retaliation actions.

Some of our Diversity and
Equity initiatives
The Paradigm for Parity® - Since 2016, Cargill is a
founding member of the Paradigm for ParityⓇ coalition,
an initiative that sheds light on the gender gap in cor-
porate leadership and seeks to, until the year of 2030,
make gender parity in leadership roles a reality. Global
adherence has effects in all geographical regions in
which we are present. Thus, since then, we have devel-
oped actions to sponsor a more inclusive work culture;
we actively support women in their career development;
we promote more women to leadership positions; and
offer more opportunities to women who work in the
food, agriculture and nutrition front line. Our efforts now
focus on supporting the development and aspirations
of the next generation of women leaders, with initiatives
focusing on young and black women.
LIFT (Language, Inspiration, Focus and
Transformation) - Cargill in Brazil is a company that
helps make possible, by means of sponsorship, LIFT,
and affirmative action intended for racial equity that
uses English language teaching as a social mobility tool.
The project offers free English language teaching and
mentoring to 75 self-declared black university students,
that are low income and are in the 3rd or 4th semester
of undergraduate studies. Participants are followed by
mentors and among these are some of our executives.

and workshops for professional development.View entire presentation
