Pitney Bowes Inc.

Diversity is a hallmark of Pitney Bowes' heritage. Indeed, some have said that diversity is part of the company's DNA given the commitment it has demonstrated to diversity for over six decades. That commitment to diversity has been one of the keys to the company's success and has helped the company be viewed externally as a top performer and employer. It is no mere coincidence that Pitney Bowes is one of the 11 company's profiled in the best seller "Good to Great," appeared in CEO Magazine's Top 20 Companies for Leaders list, and has consistently appeared in numerous top lists for diversity, including the number one ranking in corporate diversity by DiversityInc. magazine.

Pitney Bowes delivers innovative mail and document management products, software, services and solutions to over 2 million customers worldwide. And, its value of diversity has always been grounded in an understanding that its continued success in the marketplace lies in effectively leveraging the diversity of its employees, customers, suppliers and communities. This fundamental understanding is reflected in the company's business practices, including recruitment, leadership development, purchasing and community outreach.

The company taps into a wide range of sources to attract and recruit its diverse workforce including organizations such as INROADS that identify talented students and professional organizations and interest groups such as the National Black NBA Association, the National Society of Hispanic MBAs and the Society of Women Engineers. The company is also actively involved in the National Urban League, which is a strong proponent of helping employers tap into the talent within the African American community through education and job training with programs such as Opportunity Works. In fact, Pitney Bowes Chairman and CEO, Michael J. Critelli is also chairman of the NUL Board of Trustees.

Pitney Bowes is a $4.6 billion company that helps organizations of all sizes reduce the costs, increase the impact, and enhance the efficiency of communicating through mail and documents. The company calls that "engineering the flow" of communication and it has an 80-plus year tradition of technological leadership that has produced major innovations in the mailing industry and more than 3,500 active patents with applications in a variety of markets.
