OUR PEOPLE

Beyond upholding the principle of human rights, worker safety and observing fair labor practices within our organization, we are committed to creating a workplace where every team member can thrive, build a fulfilling career, and realize their full potential. Our vision is to deliver an employee experience that inspires, empowers, and drives meaningful impact. We understand that when employees are engaged and valued, they shape a brighter future for their communities, our customers, and our business. Inclusion is fundamental to our success. Embracing diverse perspectives and viewpoints fuels innovation, enhances decision-making, and drives outstanding financial performance. These principles not only strengthen our industry leadership but also create a vibrant, welcoming workplace where everyone thrives.

Our commitment to inclusion starts at the top with the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which regularly receives updates from our Chief Human Resources Officer regarding the Company’s progress toward its human capital and inclusion initiatives. At the management level, our Vice President of Talent & Learning oversees our inclusion strategy, ensuring that inclusive leadership practices are embedded throughout the Company. This key role reports directly to the Chief Human Resources Officer, reinforcing our focus on accountability and impact.

To underpin our commitment to inclusion, in 2022, we established the Inclusion Council, a vital driver of Benchmark’s inclusive culture. This diverse group of 24 members, refreshed annually, represents a broad spectrum of roles, functions, and regions within the Company. Meeting monthly, the Council leads key initiatives, hosts impactful learning
