Caterpillar is committed to a diverse and inclusive environment that values and respects its global employees. Its vision to continually develop the Best Team - to build innovative solutions and impact the people and communities it serves - goes hand in hand with its pledge to Press for Progress and drive towards gender equality.

How Caterpillar will press for progress 

Caterpillar is proud to support and empower women who play extraordinary roles within the company, with customers, and in their communities. Caterpillar fosters an inclusive environment and believes that diversity leads to innovation, which makes them a stronger, more successful company. In recognition of its global and diverse team of women, Caterpillar is celebrating and highlighting ways it is pressing for progress.

Men as allies

Men have an important role in the fight for gender equality. Gender partnership at work requires a commitment within the corporate culture as well as with individual employees - specifically men. See how men at Caterpillar are pledging to #PressforProgress and become allies for the women in their lives.

Empowering the next generation

The need for qualified manufacturing professionals increases each year. To inspire the next generation of Caterpillar employees, girls need to be engaged early on in their education and show them how their innovative ideas can make an impact on the world. See how Caterpillar is empowering the next generation of women in STEM.
