Diversity

Our workforce must include talented people from many backgrounds – it is critical to innovation, provides a competitive advantage, yields better outcomes, and in turn, enables us to better deliver for all of our stakeholders. We measure our diversity annually and review the progress. We strive for improvement each year. We know that the tone is set from the top, and our commitment to diversity and inclusion must be reflected within our leadership team as well as our Board. We have also embedded TransDigm’s commitment to increasing diversity in other internal trainings, communications and conferences.

Discrimination is not tolerated at TransDigm. We are committed to high ethical standards and equal employment opportunities in all personnel actions without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, citizenship status, age, marital status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, or veteran status. As a company whose products and values are closely tied to supporting the U.S. military and our allies, we are dedicated to offering employment opportunities to U.S. military veterans. Supporting our veterans as they enter the civilian workforce is incredibly important to us given their valuable wealth of knowledge and skills. Many of our U.S. based operating units have specific programs or initiatives that provide career opportunities to veterans as they transition into the civilian workforce.

The Board of Directors plays an important role in our diversity, equity and inclusion ("DEI") efforts. For example, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends potential director candidates to the Board weighing independence, diversity, age, strategic and financial skills and experience, in the context of the needs of the Board and the long-term interests of our Company. The Board monitors our DEI initiatives and results on a regular basis.
