NXP Celebrates International Women’s Day 2023
Every year on March 8, NXP joins the global community in celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women everywhere, and in encouraging action for a gender equal world.
Global Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Approach
NXP’s approach to diversity, equality and inclusion is centered around the following:
- Leadership commitment and accountability
- Building and sustaining a qualified, diverse talent pipeline and equitable processes
- Fostering an inclusive culture and a sense of belonging to attract and retain the best talent by:
- Welcoming and embracing our team members’ diversity and fostering respect for everyone’s differences
- Leveraging the diversity of thought and life experiences
- Cultivating a collaborative work environment where team members feel valued and are comfortable being their true selves
We also support and adhere to all diversity-related legal and compliance requirements, which vary by country. In the United States, for example, we partner with Ogletree Deakins, Nash, Smoak and Stewart, P.C. to achieve these goals.

Rafael Sotomayor, EVP and General Manager, Connectivity and Security, shares his personal experience and reflections on diversity, equality and inclusion.
Global Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Policy
In 2021, NXP announced our Global Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Policy, which outlines our key belief that every team member should be treated with respect. We do not tolerate discrimination based on race, national origin, social origin, color, gender, religion, age, pregnancy, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, or political affiliation, among other things. Nor do we tolerate physical, verbal, sexual or psychological harassment, bullying, abuse or threats of any kind.
We are committed to providing an inclusive working environment for our team members, and we recruit, hire and promote solely based on suitability for the job, and objective and non-discriminatory criteria. By working to foster a diverse, equal and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued and accepted as they are, we increase collaboration, advance innovation, and enable our team members to unlock their full potential.

Representation Goals
To support our diversity, equality and inclusion approach, and demonstrate our commitment to transparency and accountability, we have established aspirational 2025 DE&I goals to improve our gender representation globally and minority race and ethnicity representation in the United States.

2025 DE&I Goals 2021 DE&I Progress to Goals Women in Overall Global Workforce 40% 37% Women in Global Indirect Labor Workforce 30% 24% Women in Executive Positions 20% 13% Women in R&D Positions 25% 17% Minority Representation in the United States 50% 49% In a competitive hiring market, our overall team member population grew by nearly 8% compared to 2020. Of this increased population, with the exception of the representation of women in executive positions, we saw a 1% increase for each of the goals in 2021 when compared to 2020. While we present gender representation headcount (HC) data by men and women, we acknowledge this is not fully encompassing of all gender identities.
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
ERGs enable our culture and inclusive work environment, as we work to ensure diversity throughout our company and bring unique perspectives and skills to help those in our communities.
Engaging Our Teams Through Inclusion Insights
Culture change happens over time, and it requires intent and observed behavioral changes. As NXP looks to foster a more inclusive culture within the company on a global scale, inclusion must be a demonstrated part of our day-to-day activities.
As such, NXP launched Inclusion Insights to embed inclusive practices throughout our company every day. An inclusion insight is a one-to-five-minute exchange about a specific inclusion topic at the beginning of a meeting. They are intended to serve as regular reminders to each of us about the importance of being inclusive at work, at home and in all aspects of our lives.
Expected outcomes include better engagement, increased collaboration, high performance and innovation. Inclusion creates an environment in which all team members feel welcomed, valued, accepted, respected and included, and enables everyone to perform at their best.
