Our commitment to workplace diversity reinforces the tenets of our Growing Together corporate strategy, allowing us to focus our workforce efforts on attracting and retaining talented employees, as well as developing them into company leaders. Having a diverse pool of employees means we benefit from the distinctive approaches, insights and experiences that come from people of different backgrounds. It gives us the insight and creativity we need to deliver innovation in our products and business solutions.

In order to execute this strategy in the best possible way, McCain Foods USA created the McCain Diversity Advisory Committee (MDAC), which will focus on the development of initiatives that will enhance diversity within McCain, and by extension, throughout McCain’s supplier and partner network.

MDAC members will provide feedback on best practices for supplier and workplace diversity initiatives, lead focus groups, organize one major event per year and help communicate excitement about new diversity initiatives throughout the McCain business.

They are also tasked with a host of responsibilities designed to integrate diversity into day-to-day business. In addition to generating new ideas, planning annual events and communicating with peers, members of the MDAC will serve as agents of change.
