The survey results revealed a high level of
engagement for a relatively new enterprise-level
initiative. In particular, the survey showed a high
level of employee confidence regarding:
• The sustainability commitment of FMC’s leaders;
• Alignment of our sustainability plan with the
FMC Vision 2015 strategy; and
• The strength of the company’s sustainability
efforts as a solid foundation for continued
success beyond 2015.
Survey results also highlighted several areas
where we can continue to improve. These include
continuing to increase collaboration with our
customers and suppliers on sustainability efforts
and expanding the number of employees who are
using our newly established intranet resources. To
measure our progress from the established 2012
baseline, we plan to conduct our second survey
in 2013.
It’s still early in our journey, but we already
see increased understanding and leadership in
sustainability across the organization.
Sustainability Supports Recruitment
Our sustainability approach helps us engage with
employees even before they join the FMC team.
Throughout our recruiting process, potential and
new employees are expressing significant interest
in sustainability. Having a clearly articulated
program in place helps prospective employees
quickly understand and appreciate our program.

Broadening Expertise and Diversity
We believe the most critical learning happens on
the job and we work to create an environment in
which everyone has opportunities to learn, grow
and apply their skills.
If we expect to generate world-class ideas and
challenge each other’s assumptions, FMC knows
that we must strive to reflect the diversity of our
human family. To support greater diversity in our
workforce, FMC created a range of new ways to
attract the best and brightest to join us. Over the
course of 2012, we added more than 400 positions
in 24 countries to fill a broad array of roles. We
seek to attract people who bring diversity of
thinking and experience.
Just as we track our market and financial
performance, each FMC business closely monitors
its recruitment progress, including diversity, and
our Executive Committee reviews progress on a
quarterly basis.
FMC relies heavily on skilled professionals
throughout our company who are drawn from
the fields of science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM), yet – like similar companies
around the world – we face the challenge of
competing for a smaller pool of qualified STEM
talent. To reverse this trend, we are partnering
with schools and universities to actively promote
these courses of study (read more in the
Cultivating Community section, page 36).
STEM INTERNShIPS
FOSTER CAREERS
In 2O11, The U.S. President's Council
on Jobs and Competitiveness partnered
with the National Association of
Manufacturers and challenged
businesses to increase their STEM
internships. FMC was one of over
5O companies pledging to meet the
challenge and we more than tripled our
STEM internships in 2O12, with 25 intern
placements. Globally, we placed 51
interns in our businesses in 2O12. Our
employees enjoy working with STEM
interns each summer and we value the
chance to foster life-changing career
paths for each individual.
