At Gore, every individual matters.

We want each Associate to experience the inclusion promised in our fundamental beliefs and guiding principles, regardless of their age, abilities, disabilities, gender identity, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation or any other personal identifier.

Diversity and inclusion are critical ingredients for sustaining an engaging work environment and delivering on our enterprise objectives. Our enterprise is stronger when we include diverse backgrounds, talents and viewpoints; recognize each other’s unique contributions; and bring our knowledge together across the enterprise to make smart business decisions — truly making our whole more than the sum of our parts.

Our Associates are what differentiate Gore as an enterprise. Diverse perspectives, talents and experiences have fueled us for over 65 years, and they will propel us forward as a successful enterprise where all Associates are able to do their best work each and every day.
