Diversity, equity and inclusion

At Post Consumer Brands, our purpose is “To make lives better by making delicious food accessible for all.” These two simple words “for all” also guide our approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We are committed to ensuring opportunities are accessible for all, regardless of identity, background, personal experiences and perspectives. We believe in building an authentic and inclusive culture for all, where our people feel welcome to bring their whole selves to work. We strive to make products accessible for all, regardless of financial circumstances, background or preferences.

We know words are important. They inspire us, they create focus and they bring us together to achieve our shared goals. But words aren’t enough on their own. That’s why our approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is intentionally pragmatic. We focus on living our values and doing right by our employees, customers, consumers and the planet. To get there, we approach our work with humility, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to making progress against three strategic objectives:

Culture for all

Build and sustain a culture of inclusion and belonging


Increase awareness of and appreciation for all forms of diversity within our workforce and communities.

Strengthen leadership capabilities to leverage all our diversity and skills to drive individual and business success.

Access for all

Provide equal access to employment and growth opportunities


Deploy recruitment strategies aimed at attracting a wide range of talent; ensure job descriptions are clear and reflect required skills and qualifications.

Optimize talent practices to ensure consistency, reduce bias and barriers to employment and advancement.

Actively reflect and represent the diversity of the consumer and customer when we go to market.
