In this episode of #PeoplewithPurpose, host Steve Amsden sits down with three amazing women at Chemours, a different kind of chemistry company that responsibly enables every day products from smart devices to cars and home air conditioning.

According to Rich, the inclusion so evident at Carrier brings career growth, innovation, brand power, and brand integrity.

Shondi explains that Carrier's commitment to developing diverse talent from the beginning to the end of their career is also evident in its inclusion and diversity brand: _belong™. Carrier understands that only by leading with inclusion and diversity, it is possible to attract the best talent - not despite of differences but because of them.
