Diversity

We recognize that a diverse workforce is critical to improving and maintaining SCA's competitive advantage. Our commitment to diversity focuses on identifying ways to become a truly inclusive organization, where all people are valued and respected, and the contributions of all employees are leveraged for greater productivity and performance.

Corporate Commitment
The highest levels of SCA management recognize our people are our greatest asset, and if we attract, grow and utilize the best and the brightest talent from all backgrounds, it will help drive our ambitious business goals. SCA strives to be both the "employer of choice" and the " provider of choice."

Recruiting a Diverse Workforce
It is critical that we continually develop new and innovative recruiting channels that ensure we are reaching the broad spectrum of available talent in the marketplace. Ensuring our opportunities are extended to candidates from all walks of life not only impacts our own diversity efforts, but the diverse make-up of our customers' workforces.
Recruiting a diverse workforce ultimately comes down to accessibility - have we removed all barriers so that information about position openings is available to all qualified candidates? Following are just some of our strategies for recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce:

• Relationships with colleges and universities possessing a diverse student body
• Informal referral networks through our existing staff and contract employees
• Focus on retention - creating a climate that is hospitable to all employees

Fostering a Diverse Supplier Network
SCA is committed to strengthening our focus on supplier diversity to ensure that our network of suppliers adequately reflects today's global marketplace. Supply base diversity allows us to maximize innovation, competitiveness and customer satisfaction, while developing economic opportunity.
