MULTI-YEAR U.S. ACTION PLAN

Racial Equality Pledge Commitments & Progress

The work of the Racial Equality Pledge is split into what we can drive within our company and what we can influence within our communities.

The following updates highlight some of the work that has been done as part of the Racial Equality Pledge to promote inclusive environments where all can thrive.

Inclusion & Diversity are enduring values for Whirlpool Corporation. Because of our actions to create a culture where employees feel welcomed, valued, respected and heard, we believe employees of all backgrounds will be more apt to join and stay with Whirlpool. And this, in turn, will help us deliver products that improve life at home. We will continue to take actions to listen to our employees and evolve our talent processes and expect this will continue to create an inclusive environment and diverse employee base.

Whirlpool’s Global Headquarters is based in Southwest Michigan with offices in both Saint Joseph and Benton Harbor – often referred to as the “Twin Cities”. Whirlpool has been here for over a century and is invested in building a community where employees and residents can all thrive:

“
Whirlpool Corporation has a long history of working with the city of Benton Harbor and our surrounding communities to drive progress and to make our communities a great place to work and live.
– Pam Klyn, Executive Vice President Corporate Relations & Sustainability

We want this community to work for all of us. This means …

Supporting students to achieve their hopes and dreams for the future.
Investing in infrastructure where families can come together to laugh, grow and learn.
Being a partner to the city to support their vision for the future.

The following initiatives are intended to support the areas where residents, city officials and employees told us it is needed the most.
