Diversity Committee

A formal Diversity Committee was formed in 2004 to ensure Scripps Networks Interactive remains focused in diversity and inclusion as primary drivers for our business for years to come. Five strategic teams were added in 2007 to focus on diversity as it relates to work force, community, audience, content and suppliers. In 2010, our Diversity Committee was restructured into two parts: an Executive Committee and Diversity Council. The Diversity Council's focus is to serve as a catalyst transforming Scripps Networks Interactive's commitment to diversity and inclusion into action that contributes to our business successes.

"Diversity has been part of our core values from the very beginning of this company," states Ken Lowe, chairman of the board, president and CEO. "It supports everything we do. Our programming, our workplace and how we interact with our viewers and vendors. We continue to embrace a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural workplace and workforce as part of our success plan for today and the future."

"Our workplace, workforce and the media we create all benefit from an environment where multi-cultural, multi-ethnic voices can be heard, and diverse and skilled professionals contribute to our shared success. Diversity goes beyond business trends. It's part of our daily experience, how we relate to each other, how we reach our viewers and how we compete successfully in a multi-cultural world."
