Diversity

Owens Corning is a diverse community of dedicated and highly talented professionals with nearly 50 percent of our employees living and working outside of the United States. We are committed to fostering greater diversity in our workplace and we are leading efforts to strengthen our diversity stance by focusing on four key factors:

• Leadership Vision – create a global team environment worthy of our company and enhancing the lives of our people.

• Diversity Connections – drive awareness and build a sense of community and inclusion which benefits our employees, customers, suppliers, community and shareholders and develops our corporate reputation.

• Workforce Representation – attract and retain a workforce that enables us to better meet our customers' needs and market trends.

• Recognition – leverage opportunities that lead to increased recognition of our diversity results.

What makes diversity meaningful at Owens Corning? The ability to access great talent, having outstanding role models, and being comfortable with who we are.
