We're Better
Together
ROOTED IN OUR CORE VALUES
ITW’s long-standing commitment to diversity & inclusion (D&I) is rooted in our core values of Respect and Integrity. We strive to treat all colleagues with dignity, give everyone the opportunity to reach their full potential and create workplaces where our people are heard, valued and engaged.
ITW DIVERSITY & INCLUSION FRAMEWORK
Great ITW Leaders are expected to lead through ITW’s Culture & Values, build diverse teams and foster inclusive workplaces.
Creating an environment where all team members feel valued by promoting colleague development, actively seeking different perspectives and supporting Employee Resource Groups is critical.
Diverse backgrounds bring unique perspectives, helping to drive innovation and organic growth – key objectives of ITW’s business strategy. We strive to attract and retain the best talent that is reflective of our global communities.
We are committed to being a great employer and working diligently to strengthen and sustain ITW’s unique and differentiated workplace.
COMMITMENT AT THE
HIGHEST LEVELS
Our Diversity & Inclusion Council, comprised of executive leaders, ensures our D&I strategy touches every part of our business. Using our D&I Framework as a guide, leaders are given the resources to build teams that reflect the communities we serve and drive progress for the future.

BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS
To support us in creating inclusive workplaces for all colleagues, we proudly partner with engineering and business organizations to bolster our talent attraction, advocacy, and education efforts.
EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS
Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) bring together ITW colleagues around the globe with opportunities to learn, connect and grow professionally in support of our enterprise strategy. They are employee-led and directly support our talent strategy by attracting, retaining, and developing talent and promoting cultural diversity and community. All ERGs are open to any employee who wishes to join.
In addition to those featured here, ITW colleagues can also participate in our two newest ERGs: the ITW Veterans & Allies Alliance (IVAA) and the ITW MultiCultural Network (MCN).
