Workplace

Our passion is creating a workplace where all employees can thrive.

It’s been said that diversity is the mix and inclusion is maximizing the mix. At S&P Global, we strive in both areas so that each employee reaches his or her full potential. In a company-wide, global employee survey in 2018, 80% agreed that “I can be myself at work."
