"Conagra strives to have the most impactful, energized and
inclusive culture in food, and we are proud to be recognized for
building a workplace where employees from all backgrounds can
thrive," said Mariane Boldori, Vice President of Human Resources,
Conagra Brands. "There is a lot of exciting work ahead of us, and
we will continue to learn how to better support our team members to
evolve our culture of belonging."
In February 2020, Conagra
announced new diversity and inclusion targets and actions to engage
with talent, strengthen and sustain relationships with individuals
from underrepresented backgrounds, and nurture employee development
by creating new platforms to influence the company's inclusive
culture. In support of these efforts, Conagra recently formed a
multi-year partnership with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the
Thurgood Marshall College Fund to provide college scholarships and
unique professional development opportunities for diverse
students.
In addition, Conagra's Latinx Employee Resource Group serves as
a catalyst for employee development, business growth, and community
impact by educating employees on the importance of a diverse
workplace through workshops and events, and by forming partnerships
with local non-profits to create mentorship programs and volunteer
projects to help combat food insecurity.
"We are proud to recognize companies who support programs
encouraging training, mentorship, and promotion for Latinas through
the LATINA Style 50 Report," said Robert
Bard, CEO, LATINA Style, Inc.
