The company states that it provides equal opportunity to all employees and applicants for employment relative and does not discriminate against others in hiring or in any other aspect of employment on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, transgender status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law. Also, it states that it has launched the Greater Resources and Opportunities for Women (GROW) group to empower women to grow in their careers, fill leadership positions, and provide representation at all levels of the organization. Further, it discloses its goal to increase women's representation to 45% in senior leadership roles by 2027 within its U.S. salaried employee community. However, no evidence found that the company has a public commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment in broad sense.
