Commendation Reinforces AdvanSix’s Commitment
to Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at All Levels
50/50 Women on Boards (50/50WOB), the leading global education
and advocacy campaign driving gender balance and diversity on
corporate boards, commends AdvanSix (NYSE: ASIX), a leading
chemical manufacturer of essential products, as a “3+” company, for
having three or more women on its corporate board of directors.
“We are so proud of this recognition by 50/50 Women on Boards
and thank them for their continued efforts to increase and sustain
gender diversity on corporate boards,” said Erin Kane, president,
CEO and board member of AdvanSix. “We know that diversity at all
levels is key to strong business outcomes, and we are committed to
championing greater representation and inclusion from our shop
floor to board room at AdvanSix every day.”
AdvanSix is committed to providing a workplace that reflects the
diversity of the communities in which it operates. With four women
directors representing over 40 percent of its corporate board
seats, and nearly 50 percent of 2021 new hires identifying as
diverse, AdvanSix is making strides in its equity, diversity and
inclusion (ED&I) mission.
“I’ve seen firsthand the power of a diverse and inclusive board
and how it can benefit a company as well as its customers,” said
Mike Marberry, Chairman of the Board at AdvanSix. “Our directors
are committed to continuing to champion diversity at every level
and we are proud of this recognition for our Board and the work
AdvanSix is doing to achieve its ED&I mission.”
The company regularly creates opportunities for employees to
engage and take actions for ED&I, including conducting
Unconscious Bias education and launching ‘Days of Understanding’
sessions. The first sessions were held at AdvanSix’s largest
manufacturing facility in Hopewell, Virginia where employees were
encouraged to listen to the experiences of their colleagues and
learn from each other to understand and address differences, become
better allies and evolve as an organization. AdvanSix also joined
the inaugural cohort of Dr. Steven L. Robbins’ Inclusion
Academy.
“Investors and enlightened leaders continue to make
institutional decisions that reinforce the business advantages of
diverse boards,” said Betsy Berkhemer-Credaire, CEO of 50/50 Women
on Boards. “We are pleased to recognize AdvanSix for prioritizing
this business decision that benefits its shareholders, employees,
customers and communities.”
“The value proposition for diversity and inclusion is clear,”
said Kane. “When we have diverse representation at all levels in
the workplace and a safe environment for folks to be their
authentic selves, conventional perspectives are questioned,
conversations are deepened and better decisions are made. We
challenge all companies to seek more diversity, adding and
promoting individuals from all backgrounds, and to enable truly
inclusive cultures.”
