[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] General Motors announced on the 27th that it has officially launched the 'Diversity Council' at its Korean workplaces, including Korea GM and GM Technical Center Korea, to actively practice the global behavioral norm of 'diversity and inclusion.'

Kaher Kazem, President of Korea GM, Roberto Rumpel, President of GM Technical Center Korea, and other Korea GM executives held the Diversity Council inauguration ceremony the day before.

Korea GM explained that the launch of the Diversity Council within its Korean workplaces follows GM's corporate behavioral norm of diversity and inclusion, which it adopted as a core corporate value starting last year. GM has expanded its existing corporate value of diversity to include the value of inclusion to break down unreasonable barriers of discrimination based on race, gender, generation, class, culture, and more, establishing these as core behavioral norms for its global employees and engaging in various related activities.

The Diversity Council plans to actively carry out related activities such as networking, diversity conferences, social contribution activities, and personal skill development seminars to enhance individual capabilities and potential, as well as to spread the values of diversity and inclusion within the company.

Myung-ok Yoon, Executive Director of Public Relations at Korea GM and leader of the Diversity Council, said, "We will strive to establish an inclusive corporate culture at domestic workplaces centered on the Diversity Council, so that we can become a great workplace and a respected company."

Jin-su Kim, Executive Director of GM Technical Center Korea, also emphasized, "Not only gender diversity but also inclusion that embraces various generations, backgrounds, experiences, preferences, and perspectives of workplace members is essential. In this inaugural year of the Diversity Council, we have set the theme 'Inclusion through Listening' and will plan and conduct events aligned with this theme."
