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

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