At Armstrong, we strive to create a culture where all are welcome. We aim to lead by example, firmly grounded in the knowledge that diversity is our strength, inclusion is our responsibility and the impact of our work extends far beyond the physical structures our products can create.
When we prioritize diversity and inclusion, we create an environment where every individual can bring their whole self to work—where they can feel valued, respected and empowered. We unlock a world of creativity, innovation and collaboration that leads to better decision-making, stronger teams and increased success. By continually seeking to improve our performance and recruit diverse talent, we are creating a workplace that reflects the communities we serve.
