Nielsen CEO Mitch Barns recently joined more than 250 fellow chief executives in signing the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion pledge. By taking this pledge, these CEOs solidified their shared commitment to diversity and inclusion and have created a unique opportunity for collaboration on business practices, employee engagement and continued dialogue among various companies and organizations.
“Diversity and inclusion are crucial to Nielsen’s growth, strength and ability to innovate,” said Mitch. “The results of work done by our diversity & inclusion team and our company at large have proven that diversity of talents, skills, experiences and cultural backgrounds make our company stronger.”

In alignment with these actions, we have already celebrated a few milestones in our efforts to expand diversity and inclusion within the company. Earlier this year, we were named to DiversityInc.’s coveted Top 50 Companies for Diversity List at spot No. 32. This year, we also launched our ninth Employee Resource Group (ERG), MOSAIC in the U.K. Through our global ERG chapters, we’re committed to making sure thousands of our associates around the globe have a forum to share experiences, participate in community outreach and engage with our clients. In addition, our unique 15-month Diverse Leadership Network program recently celebrated its third graduating class. It is the company’s most diverse leadership development program, which provides opportunities for advanced mid-level leaders to learn from senior leaders within the company, collaborate among their peers and leverage these skills with practical business case studies.
