Employee safety and wellness in both plants and offices remain two of our highest priorities. We developed and administer company-wide policies to ensure the safety of each team member and compliance with OSHA standards.

Inclusive and Effective Workplace
We embrace the diversity of our employees in all dimensions and our efforts aspire to help us achieve a more inclusive workforce and optimize our long term performance.

In 2023 we launched several Employee Resource Groups (“ERGs”). These Company-supported,
employee-run
groups contribute to our goal of building and maintaining an inclusive workplace at Church & Dwight. We started the program with ERGs for military veterans (V.A.L.O.R.), Black employees (B.O.L.D.) and women (W.A.V.E.). Each ERG’s membership is open to all employees, is intended to create inclusive environments where all global employees feel connected, valued, and inspired to build customer value and contribute to our Company’s success.
