ALTOGETHER KOHLER

Better
Together

We celebrate diversity because we know that our differences are our strength. Kohler is more innovative, our teams are stronger, and we are better human beings when we nurture inclusion.

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion honors our company’s heritage and amplifies our mission of Gracious Living.

Our Goals

As human beings and as a company, we cannot be content with the status quo. We remain committed to doing the hard work required to truly eliminate injustices and inequality. Today we focus our effort on the following:

Balanced Teams

Building diverse teams that reflect our communities and customers.

Inclusive Culture

Welcoming difference and fostering authenticity to inspire innovation.

Diverse Suppliers

Working with suppliers that uplift women and minority-owned businesses.

New Markets

Exploring new markets through diverse lenses and perspectives.

Making Progress

Our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are managed at a senior-management level through the Executive Leadership Diversity Board, chaired by our CEO, and composed of the Kohler Leadership Team and key senior leaders.

Altogether Kohler

It is because of our varied perspectives and experiences that 40,000+ associates succeed in building a future that outshines what any one of us could achieve alone. We encourage all associates to connect with one of our Business Resource Groups (BRGs) as a member of that community or simply as an ally.

Business Resource Groups in Action

Our BRGs definitely drive business impact. But in case you thought it was all conference calls and spreadsheets, here’s a glimpse into the community building and advocacy work these groups bring to life.
