Our commitment to building a diverse, equitable workplace and inclusive culture goes beyond activities inside our office. Through initiatives and partnerships outside our organization, we strengthen our focus on diversity, equity and inclusion and build on resources and learnings that make Albemarle a better place to work. Take a look at our external commitments:
Albemarle earned the 2024 Military Friendly ® Employer designation in the categories of Military Friendly Employer, Military Spouse Friendly Employer, and Military Friendly Supplier Diversity Program. We attribute this accolade to living our core values daily while also investing in recruitment and development initiatives for our military members at Albemarle.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly ® Employer designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score with an assessment of the organization’s ability to meet thresholds for Applicant, New Hire Retention, Employee Turnover and Promotion & Advancement of veterans and military employees.
