Diversity & Inclusion
We're stronger together
By embracing diversity and celebrating our differences, we’re able to think in new ways and accomplish what otherwise wouldn't be possible. We believe this so strongly that we’ve developed an internal ethos around it — Be Orange. Be You. — that guides us at work and beyond.
Our commitment
We are aligned behind a shared commitment to have a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace where employees feel respected, valued and driven to realize their full potential.
Diversity
We build and nurture diverse teams representing multiple backgrounds, genders, racial and ethnic groups, abilities, nationalities, identities and experiences to respond to and meet the varying needs of an increasingly complex and diverse world.
Equity
We continually update our policies and practices to improve our culture and help ensure all employees have what they need to be successful in the workplace.
Inclusion
We believe all employees should feel respected and valued, not only for what they bring to the workplace, but for who they are as people. It’s everyone’s unique perspective that helps us engage with our customers and communities in innovative ways.
Our approach
From how we recruit and who we hire to the culture we foster internally to the ways we support diversity measures outside of our company, we’re championing diversity at Andersen, within our industry, and across our communities.

Celebrating diversity
Allies for Equity
We celebrate and embrace the uniqueness of each individual during Pride Month and every month. We strive to champion a culture of empathy and inclusivity for all.
Introducing Latinx
We're excited to introduce one of our newest Employee Resource Networks (ERNs) — Latinx. This is an all-inclusive group focused on celebrating Latin culture, addressing the challenges within it and enlightening anyone interested in it.

Manufacturing Engineer
"Since I’ve started my involvement with PRIDE+, there has been so much more support than I would have imagined. It has been entirely heartwarming to hear testimonies from people who feel more welcomed at work and also to create a safe space for people to express how they maybe don't feel as comfortable at work. It has also been really comforting to feel support coming from leadership, including my own supervisors as well as executive leadership at Andersen and in between and connect with many of these people by attending the Twin Cities Pride Festival, presenting at a staff meeting, or just having a casual conversation about a PRIDE+ article on our intranet.
I have also really enjoyed getting to know and work with other people at Andersen that I otherwise wouldn't have met and they have been a great source of support as we have worked to create events and improvements through PRIDE+ that aren't in my normal line of work. There are a lot of people at Andersen who benefit from feeling like they can be comfortable bringing their whole selves to work. PRIDE+ helps people to build better connections with their coworkers and feel more engaged in their work.”
