Since its founding in 1987, Kobo Products Inc has been unwavering in its commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. As a global organization, we actively strive to create a workplace where every individual, regardless of their background, can thrive and contribute. Discrimination of any kind is unequivocally not tolerated at Kobo. We believe that by fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and included, we not only strengthen our team but also drive innovation and excellence. Our executive team, majority-led by accomplished women, exemplifies our dedication to fostering gender diversity on a worldwide stage.

Supporting our mission is a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team that shares insight into company practices, provides opportunities for employees to engage with local communities, and expands international initiatives. To that end, we have an open-door policy where we actively listen to our employees’ suggestions and concerns. At Kobo, we also expect our suppliers to share in our values. Through continuous education, inclusive leadership, and initiatives that promote supplier diversity, we not only celebrate differences but actively work to break down barriers and provide a level playing field for all employees.

At Kobo, we encourage our employees around the globe to come together as important contributors to our shared mission of building a successful organization.

To demonstrate our commitment to equality initiatives, Kobo has joined the UN Global Impact (see Climate Change for more information). As part of our membership, we pledge to work toward gender equality at all levels of the company and to continuously support the empowerment of women and girls everywhere.
