How did Stellantis make the list?
The American Indian Science and Engineering Society produces Winds of Change magazine. This nonprofit organization aims to have more representation of Indigenous peoples of North America in both STEM careers and studies.
Stellantis currently has 11 employee-directed affinity groups, including the First Nations Business Resource Group. The members of the groups encourage each other to network and develop their careers as well as support the automaker’s recruitment efforts.
In 2020, the First Nations Business Resource Group created a sub-committee to further the automaker’s involvement within tribal communities. They also made a book club dedicated to teaching fellow employees about the culture and history of Native Americans along with the issues they face. This group’s actions throughout the past year played a major role in helping Stellantis become a better company for Indigenous STEM professionals.
“Speaking on behalf of Native American employees at Stellantis, we are very proud that our company has been recognized for its commitment to creating a work culture that is respectful and inclusive of Indigenous people,” said Kaitlyn Mulkey, a controls engineer at Stellantis and president of the company’s First Nations Business Resource Group.
