Diversity & Inclusion | Western Digital

Diversity and Inclusion

At Western Digital, we thrive on the power and potential of diversity. We believe the most effective way to way to embrace the diversity of our customers and communities around the world is to mirror them from within. But that’s not enough. We work hard to foster an inclusive environment, where every individual feels a genuine sense of belonging, respect, and contribution.

Supporting the Equality Act

Diversity at Western Digital gives us our daring, our strength, our advantage. It fuels our innovation. That’s why we are honored to voice our support for the Equality Act.

The Equality Act is a proposed federal legislation that would amend existing civil rights laws to provide full protections for LGBTQ+ employees throughout the US, including anti-discrimination policies by employers at the federal level. Our current policies are consistent with the proposed Equality Act, as we do not condone discrimination and inequality at our workplace.

Celebrating Pride Month 2020

We are excited to launch our first-ever limited edition rainbow USB Cruzer Snap drive to celebrate Pride. For every drive sold through the end of August, Western Digital will donate $6 (a minimum of $10,000) to The Trevor Project, which provides suicide prevention and crisis intervention for LGBTQ+ young people.
