2022 DE&I Accomplishments
At NXP, inclusion is key to living our core values, which are built on a foundation of trust and respect. We recognize the importance of representation, value diversity, equality, and inclusion, and respect the unique talents, experiences, backgrounds, cultures, and ideas of our team members.
We invite everyone to be their authentic selves at work, without exception. This is what makes us who we are at NXP. As an ongoing demonstration of our commitment, we invest in initiatives and resources to drive cultural awareness across the company, spearheaded by our Vice President and Head of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DE&I).
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 and region. In the United States, for example, we partner with a local labor and employment law firm to achieve these goals.
NXP Prioritizes DE&I
Percy Gilbert, VP of New Product Development, Edge Processing, reflects on his personal experiences and the importance of making diversity, equality and inclusion a priority.
Global Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Policy
The NXP Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion Policy 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. 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 based solely on suitability for the job, and other 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 and Goals

Representation Goals
To support our DE&I approach and demonstrate our commitment to transparency and accountability, we have established aspirational 2025 DE&I goals to improve our gender representation globally and, in the United States, our minority race and ethnicity representation.
Show More Show LessWe continue to focus on hiring, development, and retention across all global sites to meet our 2025 representation goals among our team-member population:
2025 DE&I Goals 2022 DE&I Performance Women in Overall Global Workforce 40% 37% Women in Global IDL Workforce 30% 25% Women in Executive Positions 20% 16% [1] Women in R&D Positions 25% 19% Minority Representation in the United States 50% 51% [2] In a competitive hiring market, our overall team-member population grew by 11% compared to 2021. Of this increased population, we saw an increase of 1 percentage point with women in the global IDL workforce, 2 percentage points with women in R&D positions, and 3 percentage points with women in executive positions. Women in the global workforce remained the same in 2022 compared to 2021. While we present gender representation data by men and women, we acknowledge this is not fully encompassing of all gender identities.

Gender Representation
Women represent 37% of our global workforce, and we continue to strive for noticeable improvements in hiring women across all global sites. Additionally, we are committed to increasing, developing, and promoting more women into technical and leadership positions within our organizations.

Our 2025 aspirational representation goals highlight our commitment to increasing the representation of women and under-represented populations at NXP. With regional hiring targets, diverse interview panels, and inclusive leadership trainings and practices, we increase our ability to advance representation and promote inclusion.

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.
NXP encourages what we calls “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 formal team meetings. Inclusion Insights are intended to serve as regular reminders about the importance of being inclusive at work, at home, and in all aspects of our lives. The initiative is becoming more and more of a standard practice across the organization. Anticipated outcomes include better engagement, increased collaboration, high performance, and innovation. Team-member feedback suggests the practice is effective. Inclusion creates an environment in which all team members feel welcomed, valued, accepted, respected, and included, and enables everyone to perform at their best.
We continually look for ways to advance inclusion within the company. In November, we spotlighted the contributions of men, positive male role models, and focused on men’s health and well-being in connection with "Movember." Movember is an international cause that encourages men to grow a mustache to increase awareness and raise funds for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention.
