Diversity, equity and inclusion

At Post Consumer Brands, our purpose is “To make lives better by making delicious food accessible for all.” These two simple words “for all” also guide our approach to DEI. We are committed to ensuring opportunities are accessible for all, regardless of identity, background, personal experiences and perspectives. We believe in building an authentic and inclusive culture for all, where our people feel welcome to bring their whole selves to work. We strive to make products accessible for all, regardless of financial circumstances, background or preferences.

We know words are important. They inspire us, they create focus and they bring us together to achieve our shared goals. But words aren’t enough on their own. That’s why our approach to DEI is intentionally pragmatic. We focus on living our values and doing right by our employees, customers, consumers and the planet. To get there, we approach our work with humility, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to making progress against three strategic objectives:

Culture for all

Build and sustain a culture of inclusion and belonging


Increase awareness of and appreciation for diversity within our workforce and communities.

Strengthen leadership capabilities to leverage all our diversity and skills to drive individual and business success.

Access for all

Provide equitable access to employment and growth opportunities


Actively seek out and develop a workforce that has diverse ideas, perspectives, and experiences.

Optimize talent practices to ensure consistency, reduce bias and barriers to employment and advancement.

Marketplace for all

Cultivate a marketplace presence that speaks to all


Actively reflect and represent the diversity of the consumer and customer when we go to market.

Watch our CSR commitments in action

Besides our love for cereal, one thing all Post employees have in common is their shared passion for making lives better. Discover how we do right for our employees, our customers and the environment.
