Air Products has been named one of America’s Best Employers for Diversity for 2023 by Forbes magazine. Air Products moved up to number four in the annual overall rankings, up from 17th in 2022; and is ranked as the top company in the construction, oil and gas operations, mining and chemicals industry group.
“Part of Air Products’ Higher Purpose is to be the most diverse company in the industrial gas industry. Diversity runs through everything we do at Air Products, and we strive every day to create a culture where everyone knows they belong and matter,” said Mindy Fitzgerald, Air Products’ global director of Diversity, Culture and Engagement in a press statement. “We are proud to again be recognized by Forbes and know there is always more work to be done as we continue to reimagine what’s possible in our workplace while continuing to build and evolve our inclusive culture.”
Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to compile its annual list of America's Best Employers for Diversity. To determine the ranking, Statista surveyed approximately 45,000 U.S. employees for companies with a minimum of 1,000 employees. The evaluation was based on criteria including direct and indirect recommendations and key performance indicators.
Air Products’ inclusion on the Forbes list is the latest recognition. In 2022, the company again received a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index. Air Products also earned a place on the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index (DJSI) for the 13th consecutive year and was again named one of America’s Most Responsible Companies by Newsweek.
