Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) announced today that it,
along with more than 250 other of the world’s leading companies,
has signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™, the
largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and
inclusion in the workplace.
The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion is led by a
steering committee of CEOs and leaders from Accenture, BCG,
Deloitte US, The Executive Leadership Council, EY, General
Atlantic, KPMG, New York Life, Procter & Gamble, and PwC. The
coalition represents nearly 70 industries, all 50 U.S. states, and
millions of employees globally.
“Our goal has always been to ensure that the least empowered
person in the room has the confidence to speak up and share their
view,” said Mike Petters, HII president and CEO. “We believe that
our employees are truly our most valuable assets, and we want them
to feel part of a workplace community that respects and appreciates
each one of them.”
The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion will come together
for the first time at the 2017 CEO Action for Diversity &
Inclusion Summit this November. It will be an opportunity for the
signatories to act on the commitments within the pledge, share best
known actions, and look toward developing additional commitments
for advancing diversity and inclusion within the workplace. To

signatories have already shared nearly 200 best known practices,
exchanging tangible learning opportunities and creating
collaborative conversations.
