Diversity Statement and Goals:
   
OSRAM SYLVANIA is committed to developing an increasingly diverse workforce with fair and open access to career opportunities. We cultivate an inclusive, supportive climate, thereby enabling us to better meet the needs of our employees and customers. We believe that variety of opinion, approach, perspective, and talent are the cornerstones of a strong, flexible, and competitive company. 

We have established a corporate commitment to recruiting, retaining, and developing the talents of employees regardless of race, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, or any other dimension of diversity.  We cultivate strategic partnerships with colleges, universities, and professional organizations that have significant female and minority populations.  The offering of domestic partner benefits, which will go into effect January 1, 2008, acknowledges the diversity in our workforce and the company's desire to accommodate family needs. Community partnerships are established which reflect the values of our workforce, and opportunities are explored to enhance supplier diversity. 

Diversity strategies include affinity groups, mentoring, as well as an intensified focus on employee development.  With the powerful commitment of our senior management team, OSRAM SYLVANIA is expanding its reputation as the type of environment where every talented individual will be proud to work.
