Retention, Development & Diversity
We recognize that our success is due to the dedication of our employees across the globe. We are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and collaborative workplace where employees can contribute, thrive and grow.
In addition to our commitment to keeping employees safe, we are dedicated to providing employees what they need to succeed in their careers. We recognize the value of each employee and how diversity in background, skill sets and experiences enable us to advance in our business. We seek candidates for all positions without preference to any protected classes, and are committed to celebrating the diversity of all Cabot employees and supporting them in realizing successful careers. To do so, we have deployed practices that help ensure all employees are treated fairly and equally by providing competitive benefits and professional development programs.
We believe our employees are our best asset, and we endeavor to provide a diverse, inclusive and welcoming workplace. Our commitment to retention, diversity and development drives us to expand and refine our programs in support of our 2025 sustainability goals. These goals include the following objectives for retention, diversity and development:
- Fostering an environment where employees report high levels of inclusion and support for their professional development
- Increasing diverse representation in leadership and professional roles
We continue to evolve our practices and advance our efforts in order to meet our goals and advance diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.

DE&I Highlights
Employee Resource Groups
As part of our commitment to diversity, equity & inclusion, we have a number of employee resource groups (ERGs) across the company. These include the Black Employees and Allies United (BEAU), Pride@Cabot, Women’s and U.S. Military Veterans ERGs to help raise awareness, encourage allyship, offer professional development, and support community engagement amongst these diverse groups. All employees are able to join and participate in these ERGs.
Inclusive Leadership Training
We believe inclusive leadership is not just a beneficial skill but a fundamental aspect of our strategy to nurture a workplace where all our colleagues can thrive. As such, we have introduced a new inclusive leadership development program for our people managers designed to empower participants with the knowledge and skills needed to be effective leaders who foster inclusivity. The program focuses on key action areas, including commitment, courage, cognizance (awareness of bias), curiosity, cultural intelligence and collaboration. This program has been well received with 99% of our people managers participating.
Partnerships
We are proud to collaborate with a variety of organizations dedicated to creating opportunities and fostering a sense of belonging for all. Together, we work to uplift and strengthen our communities, ensuring everyone has the support they need to thrive. These partnerships reflect our commitment to making a meaningful impact.
Global Well-Being – Tour de Cabot
We are committed to continuing to build a workplace culture of physical, mental, financial and social well-being. To advance this initiative, we globally launched “Tour de Cabot,” a physical activity and movement challenge. Nearly 2,000 employees collectively took over 700 million steps during the 6-week challenge, showcasing inclusivity by allowing any form of physical movement. Throughout the Tour de Cabot, participants also embarked on a virtual tour learning about local cultures, customs, cuisines and Cabot products.
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ Pledge
Our CEO, Sean Keohane, joined more than 1,000 CEOs in signing the pledge. By signing onto the commitment, Cabot Corporation is promising to take action to cultivate a workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected and where employees feel encouraged to speak up and take part in constructive conversations around issues of DE&I.
