At Carpenter Technology, We Are One Company for All

Carpenter Technology has a culture that builds on the different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of all employees to drive performance. Our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and belonging is woven into our Core Values of dignity and respect for all. By embracing our diverse perspectives, we accelerate the creation of innovative solutions that deliver value to our customers. 

Carpenter Technology's policies require that everyone is treated equally regardless of their race, age, gender identity, different physical and mental abilities, military status, creed, or sexual orientation. By embracing our diverse perspectives, we accelerate the creation of innovative solutions that deliver value to our customers. 

Our Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIB) Committee plays a critical role in advancing us to the next level of awareness and engagement.

The team is comprised of volunteers from all levels and sites who are focused on cultivating an environment where equality thrives. Since its inception in 2020, the committee has spearheaded several initiatives: 

• Launching Unconscious Bias Training as a part of a large initiative to conduct ongoing training on a series of diversity related topics; 85% of our U.S. employees have completed the training.

• Highlighting the contributions of employees from different backgrounds through our quarterly diversity campaigns. 

• Collecting employee feedback, ideas, and comments to enhance employee engagement on diversity, inclusion, and belonging.  

Diversity in the Workplace

To better understand our employee population and identify opportunities to be even more inclusive and foster a greater sense of belonging, Carpenter Technology collects and analyzes self-reported diversity information.

Military Connection

We are proud that 10% of our U.S. workforce has a military background or experience. We are a military-friendly and supportive employer who fosters an attitude of gratitude towards, and a sense of belonging for, our veterans, active reservists, and the many employees who have veterans or active reservists in their families.

Cybersecurity Education

Carpenter Technology partners with Reading Area Community College (RACC) to support nontraditional students pursuing a career in cybersecurity. We provide funding for students pursuing the CompTIA Security+ Certification Training, a value of $800 per student. This certification is a globally recognized industry standard, certifying baseline cybersecurity skills.

While providing students career options, it also helps companies address an ever-growing need for cybersecurity professionals. We are expanding this support into other communities where we operate, including Calhoun Community College in Athens, Alabama.

The Challenge Program

This year, Carpenter Technology's Dynamet location in Washington, PA celebrated a 15-year partnership with the Challenge Program, which seeks to empower high-school students to develop habits required to succeed in school and beyond. The Challenge Program provides education and information on careers in manufacturing and helps provide a successful career path.
