Inclusion and Diversity

Global Inclusion and Diversity Transparency Report

We believe diversity is our strength and diverse thinking powers innovation and growth. In our fourth annual Global Inclusion and Diversity Transparency Report, we look at the progress we've made in our journey and the work that's still left to do. 

Eaton is a company that does not deviate from its values. We embrace our responsibility to improve the lives of all people and are committed to working with others to build a better, more inclusive society for all.
Craig Arnold, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Please note this Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO-1) Report uses federally mandated job categories that are broadly applicable to U.S. companies across a variety of industries. These differ from how Eaton categorizes jobs and measures our progress. We believe the data presented in our Inclusion and Diversity Report [www.Eaton.com/diversity] provides a more useful and meaningful reflection of Eaton’s workforce diversity as it is more tailored to our organizational structure.
