We are bold in our pursuit of furthering diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Our DEI Commitment Statement
Building a Community of Inclusion for All
At Crane Group, we believe that our long-term success is connected to that of our associates, partners, and communities. Our commitment to family extends to the many associates and partners who share our values and focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). To live our values of respect, family, and community, we are deeply committed to ensuring that DEI is a sustainable strategic business imperative for our company, and it involves awareness of, and empathy for, the inequities that still exist in our society. This will accelerate excellence and performance that can only be realized through a healthy collaboration of diverse ideas, experiences, and perspectives.
The diversity of our workforce, supplier base, business and investment partners, and community outreach is every associate’s responsibility. Members of our workforce should all have equal opportunity and be empowered to be their best selves in an environment that stimulates innovation and drives forward-thinking. This environment cultivates fresh perspectives and allows us to act as stewards to our community while improving the quality of life for all where we live and work. To do this, we must all model inclusive behaviors, show respect for one another, and promote dialogue that challenges us to go beyond the status quo.
As a respected business partner, it is our goal to create pathways for diverse representation, inclusion, and equity for our collective business family and our communities.
