Diversity Equity and Inclusion
We recognize that our people are our most important strength.
We also recognize that diversity, equity and inclusion are essential to our ability to effectively carry out our mission. We aim to cultivate a work environment that reflects and celebrates the unique backgrounds and experiences of our employees, while also engaging them meaningfully and allowing them to develop and succeed.
Fostering diversity, equity and inclusion is simply the right thing to do – for our employees, communities and business.

safety, mutual respect, development and wellbeing.
- Actively collaborate and engage in the communities where we work and live.

Community
Enrich the lives of all people in the communities where Albemarle is present.
Albemarle's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Steering Committee includes thirteen Albemarle leaders who were strategically selected based on their demonstrated passion to advance DE&I, as well as their representation across a variety of regions, business units and functions.
This committee has partnered to help develop our DE&I strategy. Longer term, the Steering Committee will continue to inform, encourage and monitor our DE&I strategy. This has been an important step in our journey to build greater diversity, equity and inclusion at Albemarle because it supports the development of a strategy that is meaningful, collaborative and rooted in all aspects of our organization.
Employee Demographics
Board Composition

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requires U.S.-based companies with at least 100 employees to provide annual EEO-1 reports for the U.S.-based workforce. While the EEO-1 report is limited in scope and does not include our global workforce information, we believe transparency is key to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I). Albemarle has various initiatives underway to progress DE&I globally, including a strategic plan to integrate DE&I across the organization fully. For more on these initiatives as well as global workforce diversity data, please see our annual Sustainability Report.
