Our Strategic Pillars
Our Commitment
We stand against inequality and injustice and do not tolerate racism. To support this commitment, we launched our We will listen. We will talk. We will act. campaign in 2020.
As a part of this ongoing campaign, we host regular listening circles and panel discussions on the impact of racism in the workplace. We also invite members of our Board of Directors to participate in open Fireside Chats to ensure our employees know these conversations are a priority.
Our biweekly “Together We Will Learn” messages—sent to all employees—provide information about the importance of inclusion across all dimensions of diversity. Employees have reported sharing the information with family, friends and customers, creating positive outcomes beyond the workplace.
nVent Foundation
Supporting our communities is part of our culture and values. Through the nVent In Action program and our broader nVent Foundation, we empower our employees to give to the causes they care about.
