PHILADELPHIA, PA - Everywhere you look, women are playing a vital role in our industry. One company recently gained the spotlight for its diversity and inclusion commitments, as AgroFresh Solutions recently announced its first-ever designation as a Champion of Board Diversity by The Forum of Executive Women, the Greater Philadelphia Region’s premier women’s organization.
“We’re honored to receive this important distinction as a reflection of our continued work to enhance diversity and promote inclusion across our global workforce,” said Nance Dicciani, Chair of the AgroFresh Board of Directors. “Every day, our teams are faced with solving complex issues, and we believe an inclusive culture and diverse perspectives are critical to developing innovative solutions.”
The Forum of Executive Women annually honors the top public companies in the Philadelphia region with 30 percent or more women on their respective boards, a press release states. AgroFresh’s commitment to diversity and inclusion—which is outlined in its recent Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report—includes a focus on contributing to the improving representation of gender and racial and ethnic diversity in global agriculture by strengthening the diversity of its global workforce through targeted recruitment efforts as well as partnering with industry groups and organizations that are focused on improving diversity at all levels of the agriculture industry.
The Champions of Board Diversity will be celebrated on Wednesday, October 26, at The Forum’s annual Leadership Breakfast.
Congratulations to AgroFresh for this exciting recognition and its successful strategies to bolster its workforce!
