Building Belonging Through Connection

Our groups have 61 chapters in more than 20 countries and engage more than 6,000 Rockwell employees.
Creating an Environment for Inclusive Language
We condemn discrimination of any kind and embed our Diversity, Equity & Culture of Inclusion work into everything we do. As an inclusive company, we do not tolerate language that is biased, offends, or implies violence.
In the summer of 2020, we launched an Inclusive Terminology Initiative, with the goal of providing unified guidance for identifying, replacing, and avoiding offensive and racially biased language in our products and content. We’re actively working with our partners to ensure that the replacement terms selected are understood and adopted by our employees, customers and others in the industry going forward.
