Kodak
CEO Dan Carp Recognized with Diversity Leadership Award
 Recognizing
the impact senior leaders have on diversity and inclusion
in corporate America, Diversity Best Practices/Business Women's
Network recently honored Daniel A. Carp, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Eastman Kodak Company, and nine other
CEOs with the organization's Diversity Leadership Award.
Carp
is one of 10 CEOs recognized for promoting diversity and inclusion
in their organizations. Other recipients included CEOs of
Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Exelon, Starwood Hotels and Resorts,
Eli Lilly, and Sodexho USA. (Note: a full list appears below.)
"Kodak people have worked extraordinarily hard to create a
Winning and Inclusive Culture at Kodak, a culture where we
value and respect the diversity of ideas and abilities that
each of us brings to strengthen our company and our brand,"
said Carp. "I'm proud of the Kodak people who've really made
it possible for Kodak to earn this significant honor." Kodak's
diversity and inclusion programs are guided by a Global Diversity
Office, which conducts education, work/life, and policy compliance
efforts, a supplier Diversity initiative, and eight employee
networks. Under Carp's leadership, the company recruited a
panel of noted external advisors from law, academia, and business
to analyze Kodak's diversity initiatives and progress. Kodak's
Chief Diversity Officer and a global team of Kodak managers
monitor the company's diversity activities and path forward.
"The
leaders recognized in this celebration live diversity,"
said Steve Miller, Chairman of Diversity Best Practices' CEO
Initiative and former Chairman, Shell Oil Company. "They
are taking advantage of every opportunity to create a new
business culture that is progressive, inclusive, and most
importantly, lucrative as diversity has a bottom line. We
commend these ten leaders."
In
addition to Carp, other diversity award recipients include
Phil Condit, Chairman and CEO, The Boeing Company; Ralph W.
