One of our strategic priorities is building a winning team and culture. We know that when employees feel that they can be themselves, they will be able to do their best work.
To help cultivate this culture, we’ve established eight enterprise-wide Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and two Manufacturing Plant Communities (MPCs). Six more plant locations will have MPCs in the coming year.
Why it matters: ERGs encourage employees to:
Our ERGs hold regular member meetings, develop and sponsor programs, and host activities and events for all employees. Learn more about each of our Employee Resource Groups:

Check out some of our events from this year:
“Being part of Campbell’s Latino Network and the ERG programs here has been a fantastic and rewarding experience. I’ve met amazing people, colleagues, leaders, and teams in cross-functional departments that have become friends and a second family here at work.” Richard Araujo, Latino Network Lead and Customer Sales Lead, Meals & Beverages
“Being part of Campbell’s Latino Network and the ERG programs here has been a fantastic and rewarding experience. I’ve met amazing people, colleagues, leaders, and teams in cross-functional departments that have become friends and a second family here at work.”
This year, 39% of salaried employees were members of one or more ERG. And while our office-based ERGs continue to grow and evolve, so do our plant-based MPCs.
Revamped this year: This year we introduced a concept called “Digital ERG in a Box,” where all manufacturing sites were sent materials and an activity to be leveraged at their location so that they could celebrate cultural heritage and observances like Black History Month.
We’re proud of what our ERGs have accomplished and how their impact continues to grow across the enterprise.
