Inclusion and Diversity Drive Success for Ingram Micro

Cultivating and preserving a culture of inclusion and diversity is a cornerstone belief at Ingram Micro. Our focus is on equipping every team member with the resources, tools, education and partnerships required to support an inclusive workplace; one in which every Ingram Micro associate can thrive. We seek to celebrate every individual’s unique contribution, role, identity and accomplishments. When our associates feel valued for who they are, they are more inclined to bring new ideas and innovation to the forefront, directly benefiting our business, our customers and our partners.

Our people are encouraged to bring their whole and best self to work, every day. Each member of our global team—39,000-plus—offers unique insights shaped by individual experiences, backgrounds, lifestyle choices, physical traits, varied perspectives and more. We not only recognize and respect those differences, but we also believe they’re essential to our continued success. Bringing differences together helps make us stronger as a company and as a community.

While the past year has been challenging for all, we’ve worked hard across our organization to continue to bring optimism and a strong sense of belonging, while also taking the precautionary measures required to help keep our people safe and healthy in the workplace.

We are proud to have launched our Together at Ingram Micro, Uniquely Us, global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiative. It is a globally coordinated, locally led, associate-driven program with Employee Resource Groups available to our associates around the world to highlight our connection and uniqueness.

“Our organization is committed to welcoming unique and authentic perspectives and differences of all types. Promoting the free flow of ideas, openness, kindness, and respect for everyone will make us better as individuals and as an organization, while further strengthening our business,” said Scott Sherman, executive vice president, human resources at Ingram Micro. “We continue to incorporate diversity and inclusion into our learning and development curriculum, as well as in our talent acquisition activities throughout the globe. Our local-led DE&I efforts span 46 countries and 98 locations, and include our Women’s Leadership Forum, which provides our female associates with the tools, resources and opportunities to develop new skills and accelerate their own career development.”

We are excited about our programs and our progress, and we see the potential to do and achieve even more. Great things happen when people from varying backgrounds and cultures work together in an open and collaborative environment. We look forward to continuing to be an employer of choice in Orange County—and around the world—as we build further on our vision of helping every Ingram Micro associate realize their full potential!
