Conagra Brands Listed on America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity

Conagra Brands has been recognized as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2023 by Newsweek. This award reveals Conagra's focus and commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion in its workplace and communities.

Newsweek partnered with Plant-A Insights to evaluate companies on various topics including proactive management of a diverse workforce, work-life balance, sustainability and awareness, compensation and benefits, training and career progression, working environment, and company image.

"Advancing on our diversity and inclusion journey will make Conagra an even stronger, high-performing business — a place where different perspectives energize people to innovate, create and deliver their best efforts," said Henry Jones, senior director of diversity and inclusion at Conagra Brands. "We are proud to be recognized as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity by Newsweek, and we will continue to embrace inclusivity to help shape our culture and drive positive impact within Conagra, in business and society."

Conagra's diversity and inclusion efforts support three key drivers of representation and retention: recruitment, advocacy, and development. Together, these serve as the building blocks for driving meaningful change within the organization by diversifying its workforce, creating authentic community relationships, and providing education and training opportunities to invest in underrepresented talent and build connections across cultures.

In the company's 2022 Citizenship Report, it states:

All backgrounds, perspectives, styles, and opinions are valued and belong at Conagra. Curiosity and diverse perspectives are where innovation begins. Diversity is comprised of more than race, gender, age, sexual orientation and disability. We value the power of individuality and uniqueness and embrace the perspectives, experience, opinions and backgrounds of all of our team members. We are committed to advancing our culture through the lens of our five inclusive behaviors - genuine listening, mutual respect, healthy debate, compromise and civility. Making progress as a cohesive team means being empathetic and giving support to one another. At Conagra, people can bring their authentic selves to work, feel valued and join an energetic exchange of ideas. When employees experience inclusion, we all perform better. Over the past year, we have seen how our focus on creating a diverse and inclusive corporate culture helps us to attract, retain and encourage the development of top diverse talent.
