Diversity & Inclusion Council
The Diversity & Inclusion Council works in partnership with Berry’s executive leadership to fully integrate diversity and inclusion into our organizational culture and business practices. The Diversity & Inclusion Council also supports the work of our employee resource groups and helps to communicate initiatives broadly throughout the company.
Employee Resource Groups
Employee Resource Groups engage members through exposure to inclusive experiences, create awareness and understanding of the diverse backgrounds and experiences represented throughout our Company, and leverage cultural differences to connect with each other through activities aligned with our pillars of People, Culture, Marketplace, and Community.
Employee Programs
Coffee & Conversations
Coffee & Conversation connects coworkers around the globe. While joining together virtually or in person, an employee shares their personal experience from a global perspective, so other Berry employees can learn about various cultures, career journeys, and Company initiatives. This results in network and relationship building in our global culture.
Employee Testimonials
"It’s not enough to have a seat at the table; it’s important that voices are heard. Berry allows its Resource Groups to use their platforms to share topics that may not be known. My hope is, through conversation we can celebrate differences allowing everyone to be their authentic selves."
