Imbed inclusion in our business

We have a responsibility to integrate inclusion throughout our business processes and relationships in order to maintain a competitive advantage as a global leader.

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.

AccessAbility

AccessAbility's mission is to increase the representation of employees with disabilities of all types and levels within Berry while building partnerships in our various communities.

Ignite

Ignite's mission aims to connect, educate, and advance women through personal and professional alliances.

Onyx

Onyx's mission is to engage employees who are descended from the worldwide collection of communities that have originated from Africa.

Spark

Spark's mission is to fuel engagement, growth, and partnerships among emerging leaders.

U.S. Veterans

The U.S. Veterans ERG seeks to recruit, recognize, and support employees who are current or former members of the US Armed Services and their families.

Unity

Unity supports our LGBTQ+ workforce and their allies with a mission to celebrate and encourage diversity and equality.

Employee Programs

Talks with Tom

As a demonstration of commitment to diversity and inclusion in our workplace, our CEO engages in meaningful dialogue with small groups of employees to discuss topics that matter to them. Participants are encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas in an effort to cultivate meaningful change.

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."
