At Indorama Ventures, diversity goes beyond culture, language, gender, age, or nationality. It also includes different approaches and ways of thinking. We value our diverse and inclusive workforce and see it as an important competitive advantage. Our diversity and inclusion efforts begin with the recruitment of candidates, and continues through career management, learning and development, and promotions and rewards for all employees. We offer careers suited to the skills and experiences of employees so they can add value to the Company and contribute to our long-term success. Some of our diversity indicators are as follows:
Gender Diversity

Diversity and Inclusion is a global priority for Indovinya (one of our business segment of Indorama Ventures). Our corporate program is called Together, and we have a dedicated team to oversee its implementation, impacts and results. Our goal is not only to amplify our efforts within the organization but also to better understand global opportunities while addressing regional realities and challenges.
Case Study
In Brazil, we have established four Affinity Groups focused on key areas: gender, race, people with disabilities (PwD), and LGBTQIAP+. Meanwhile, in other regions such as Mexico and the United States, we are forming committees to address these topics. These groups are volunteer, and they play a pivotal role within the organization, as they reflect the voices and perspectives of Indovinya’s employees across all levels.
