A vibrant community and a diverse workforce are attractive to potential employees. One of the ways we create, promote and maintain inclusion and diversity at Stellantis is through our business resource groups (BRGs). These groups provide networking opportunities, activities and meetings for our employees who share common interests and work to support greater cultural appreciation among our team. We have 11 BRG’s and an additional affinity group that employees are welcome to join.
