Thought Leadership

KBR President and CEO Stuart Bradie is joining over 2,000 other chief executive officers by signing the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge. It is the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion (D&I) in the workplace.

"KBR is actively working to create a more diverse and inclusive workplace and this pledge reinforces our commitment to promote D&I efforts in everything we do," said Bradie. "Fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace creates greater innovation and collaboration, which makes us a stronger company and empowers us to better serve our employees and customers."

The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion commitment is driven by a realization that addressing D&I is a societal issue, not a competitive issue. The pledge acknowledges that executives play a key role in positive change. Companies from 85 different industries have taken part in the pledge, and signees are given unique perspective on developing a safe and comfortable work environment for all employees.

Over the past several years, KBR has taken concrete action to advance its D&I journey. In early 2020, KBR created a D&I council comprised of KBR employees from around the world. This team assesses, develops, evaluates and champions local and company-wide programs that help KBR in our journey to become a more inclusive and diverse organization.

KBR has also championed the creation of numerous new employee resource groups (ERGs) including Pride & Allies and Veteran’s at KBR. ERGs will continue to be formed and expanded as interest emerges.

In addition, KBR has expanded the D&I training available to employees and expanded our diversity outreach to targeted universities and recruitment events.

At KBR, we aim to offer growth opportunities to all employees and create a culture of belonging where our individual differences and combined expertise help us deliver solutions for our customers’ most critical missions.
