Advocating for equal pay
We are committed to paying all of our
employees equitably and fairly. We study
pay equity annually to identify any areas in
the company where women or, in the U.S.,
racial/ethnic underrepresented groups,
are not paid comparably to their peers.
While no statistical analysis can account
for all things that influence an employee's
pay, we consider meaningful factors such
as job family, location, educational level
and seniority. When we find inequities in
our pay practices, we make the requisite
adjustments. Each year we report our
findings to our Board of Directors.
We are proud to share the progress that we have made.
While we are proud of this relative parity, we are by no
means satisfied. We know that pay gaps constantly
fluctuate for many reasons including changes to our
business and employee movement in and out of the
organization. Therefore, we are committed to dedicating
the resources necessary to maintain pay equity and to drive
pay decisions based on legitimate factors. To date, we have
progressed on our pay equity efforts for women globally
and for Black and LatinX employees in the U.S.

limited duration employees, non-employees, temporary workers and employees from companies acquired in 2H 2021.

compensation programs at the time of the analysis. This exclusion is non-material and represents 3% of employees.
