At Reuters Events, we firmly believe in advancing diversity, equity and inclusion within the automotive industry and building a community of leaders who wish to tackle business and personal challenges together.
We believe the automotive industry should be diverse and inclusive for all, including (but not limited to) race, gender, sexual orientation and ethnicity. Online statistics showcase clear examples that the industry needs to improve, for example women only account 27% of the US auto manufacturing workforce, whilst 6% are from diverse backgrounds. Our mission is to create a collaborative network to unite under-represented groups and promote a future that is both diverse, equitable and inclusive.
