SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Jan. 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DENSO, a leading mobility supplier, is recognizing Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the importance of his teachings with events and activities across North America. His message of freedom, love and justice is as relevant as ever as society continues to grapple with the deeply rooted issues of division and inequality.
Highlights of how DENSO employees are bringing Dr. Kings values to life include participating in a Driving for Justice Parade in Southfield, organized by the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Task Force, Inc., and supporting the MLK Celebration Committee in Blount County, Tennessee, which awarded a sponsorship to Blount County Schools.
On this day, we honor Dr. Kings commitment to service by asking ourselves what we can do for others, said Denise Carlson, vice president of DENSOs North American Production Innovation Center and the companys executive lead for Diversity & Inclusion (D&I). That commitment, of course, extends beyond just one day, and we actively work to give back to our communities throughout the year. Within DENSOs own walls, were making changes to ensure our workplaces are more inclusive and that people feel welcomed, valued, respected and heard.
Some of those changes have already occurred. Two years ago, DENSO appointed Carlson as the companys first-ever executive lead for D&I. Employees in Battle Creek and Maryville, Tennessee, launched internal groups focused on supporting diverse employee populations like women and veterans. Within the last year, those groups were foundational in helping DENSO launch a North America-wide business resource group policy that gives employees new pathways to foster more welcoming work environments. That policy then sprouted new groups, such as the DENSO African Ancestry Network, the DENSO Association for Latin Experience and the DENSO Womens Partnership, at the companys North American headquarters.
All of DENSOs business resource groups work to expand opportunities for employees of unique and varied backgrounds, and provide new forums for professional and personal development, community engagement, networking and mentorship.
While D&I efforts are underway, there is more to be done. DENSO is committed to continuing to listen, improve, grow and ultimately help shape a better workplace and world for everyone.
