NBC Universal's Inclusive Culture

NBC Universal believes that hiring and retaining the best, most diverse talent provides a powerful competitive advantage in the media/entertainment industry. The company is committed to increasing diversity both on the air, as well as behind the scenes. Through career pipeline programs, scholarships, training, mentoring and affinity groups, NBC Universal gives motivated employees the resources and opportunities to develop and succeed.

Inclusiveness at NBC Universal is best reflected in its affinity groups, which include the:

• African American Forum
• Asian Pacific American Forum
• Hispanic Forum
• GE Women's Network
• OUT@NBCU

Affinity groups give participating employees an important voice and a channel to continually enhance their professional experiences at NBC Universal.

The company's commitment to creating an inclusive culture was reinforced in 2000 with the establishment of the Diversity Council. The Diversity Council, made up of leaders from across the Company, has made strides increasing diversity creating programs that encourage minorities to pursue careers in broadcasting or explore business opportunities with the company.

In addition, through the NBC Supplier Diversity web site, which identifies minority-and women-owned businesses as potential vendors, NBC Universal has registered over 800 qualified business partners.

These programs demonstrate NBC Universal's significant commitment to increasing diversity now and in the future.
