분쟁지역 광물

Vertiv는 콩고 공화국(DPC)과 인접국의 광산업과 관련된 노동자들의 고통과 환경적 영향을 종식시키기 위한 노력을 지원합니다. 글로벌 공급망으로 통해 공급되는 광물의 원산지를 추적하는 것은 매우 복잡한 과정으로 많은 산업체와 이해관계자의 협조 및 지원을 통해서만 달성할 수 있습니다.

Vertiv는 공급망의 광물이 DRC 지역의 무장 단체에게 재정을 지원하고 혜택을 주는 광산에서 생산되는 위험을 감소하도록 정책 및 시스템을 개발하고 구현할 목적으로 공급자 및 기타 이해관계자와 지속적으로 협력하고 있습니다.

A Commitment to Diversity

At Vertiv, we are a company engineered to deliver solutions for critical technologies.  And those solutions often come from having a variety of viewpoints and perspectives at the table.  So it should come as no surprise that there's a spirit of inclusion found in everything we do.  Having a wider range of experiences to draw from doesn't just make us a diverse company.  It makes us a better company.

Vertiv works hard to create a global workplace that supports and promotes diversity, embraces inclusion and cultivates respect for the individual.  We believe that bringing together bright, enthusiastic, and talented people from various backgrounds promotes the birth of new ideas and an exciting energy level.

As a result, we have an active program to recruit and hire women and minorities to our management ranks.  We seek to create an employer of choice environment in terms of promotions, transfers, compensation, benefits, career mentoring, company-sponsored training, tuition assistance and social and recreational programs for our employees.

Vertiv's Equal Employment Opportunity policy ensures that there will be no discrimination or harassment against an employee or applicant on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, national origin, veteran status or any other factor considered unlawful by applicable laws and regulations.
