Our Commitment to
INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY

Across all 37 countries in which we operate, Promoting Inclusion is a high priority at RR Donnelley.

Our mission is to build strong and lasting relationships with diverse partners in the workplace, marketplace, and community. We will create a workplace in which behaviors, practices and policies promote respect, inclusion, utilization, advancement, and success across all forms of diversity.

We will ensure that policies, practices, and processes that govern our employees, business relationships, and our position in the marketplace are aligned with the goal of inclusion.

Inclusion
We believe that diversity is vital to our business success and that our inclusion strategy differentiates us in the marketplace. RR Donnelley’s Inclusion Strategy focuses heavily on sustainability, shared responsibility, and accountability for results such as inclusion goals for senior leaders. Every person at every level and across all businesses and functions is required to promote inclusion. With the help of our senior leaders and all of our employees, we are building an inclusive company through workplace practices, supplier diversity efforts, and external partnerships.

Quality of Work Environment
RR Donnelley is committed to ensuring that all employees can contribute, feel valued and be rewarded for their contributions to the company’s goals. Every action we take supports our goal of building a better workplace.

Inclusion Councils
More than 30 Inclusion Councils across the company promote inclusion within our sites and the communities in which we operate. Through awareness building, special programs, activities and partnerships, Inclusion Councils support the integration, performance and retention of talent, build community partnerships and strengthen marketplace relationships. Inclusion Councils are accountable for results, and are certified under RR Donnelley's internal Quality Certification Process only when company-established goals and activities are accomplished.
