Economic Inclusion Driving DE&I
Delivering innovation through DE&I
Commitment starts at the top
"Messer is committed to leadership in creating economic opportunities for all segments of our regional communities. We believe sustainable change requires strategic relationships with minority-, women- and veteran-owned businesses and a commitment of our resources and capital. If we are to sustain growth and continue to compete in this ever-changing business environment, it is imperative that our supplier diversity initiatives continue to support and uplift diverse businesses within our communities."
“Our commitment has produced national recognition, outstanding results, and a strengthened workforce and diverse supply chain that continues to create sustainable change in our communities. We must continue to work diligently to drive the power of economic inclusion throughout the company, on every Messer project and into our communities."
"Diversifying our workforce and supply chain provides innovative solutions for success. The growth of local diverse businesses results in job creation within our communities. When citizens within our communities are working, the economic vitality of our communities thrives. When our communities are thriving, our nation’s economy gets stronger. The bottom line: Economic Inclusion is a vital difference maker for everyone."
