Championing our DEI efforts
Championing our DEI efforts
While DEI principles hold true at a global level, approaches may vary around the world. It is essential that we localize initiatives and materials to reflect themes that are unique to regions. As part of the company’s cultural transformation efforts, Nissan has created a DEI champion team that collaborates with business groups such as Human Resources, Communications, Global and Regional DEI councils, to enhance our existing DEI initiatives and drive further actions.
