Our people are Western Digital’s most valuable resource
Global Human Rights Policy
Western Digital is committed to respecting human rights throughout the world. This policy, which has been adopted by our Board of Directors, sets forth Western Digital’s expectations for respecting human rights in our operations and supply chain.
Diversiteit en inclusie
Western Digital is van mening dat onze werknemers ons meest waardevolle bedrijfsmiddel zijn en het bedrijfsmiddel dat ons een concurrentievoordeel geeft.
We zijn ervan overtuigd dat een inclusieve cultuur resulteert in meer innovatie en betere bedrijfsresultaten. We weten dat we absoluut op ons best zijn wanneer we de diverse perspectieven van onze werknemers over de hele wereld kunnen benutten.
We zetten ons in voor een inclusieve omgeving waarin elk individu kan gedijen in een gevoel van verbondenheid, respect en bijdrage.

She Invents
She Invents is een intern programma dat openstaat voor alle werknemers. Het programma is ontworpen om vrouwen meer uitvindingen te laten aandragen binnen Western Digital. Het programma organiseert evenementen en biedt hulpmiddelen en gidsen die werknemers voorlichten over het octrooiproces en die het uitvinderschap bevorderen.
Inspiratie en advies
Toen Sabra-Anne Truesdale, Associate General Counsel in het Patent-team van Western Digital, een rapport las waarin werd aangegeven dat vrouwen 20 procent van het technische personeelsbestand uitmaken en minder dan 10 procent van alle uitvinders, besloot zij in actie te komen. Samen met haar manager zette zij in 2020 She Invents op in de strijd tegen ondervertegenwoordiging van vrouwen in STEM, met name op het gebied van patentering.
Employee Resource Groups
Onze Business Resource Groups (ERG’s) dienen als platform voor medewerkers om relaties en contacten aan te gaan, saamhorigheid te creëren en manieren te vinden om onze activiteiten te ondersteunen. Onze zeven personeelsnetwerken omvatten twintig wereldwijde afdelingen met groepen in India, China, Israël, Thailand, Maleisië en de Filipijnen.
Alle ERG’s van Western Digital staan open voor elke medewerker die wil deelnemen.

Global Anti-Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Policy
We all have a responsibility to treat everyone with dignity and respect. This Policy expresses our commitment to providing equal opportunities and creating a workplace that is free of harassment and discrimination. Our employees know that we will support them if they speak up, letting a company resource know of any misconduct.
Modern Slavery Compliance Statement
Western Digital does not tolerate human rights abuses, including the use of slavery, forced or child labor, in our supply chain or in any part of our business. We follow fair and ethical recruiting practices to ensure potential employees are supported and protected even before they step foot on our campuses, and we work closely with our suppliers to maintain similar practices and commitments throughout our supply chain.
Human Rights and Labor Practices
Respecting and upholding human rights is a foundational aspect of how we do business. In close collaboration with the Responsible Business Alliance and the Responsible Labor Initiative, we work diligently to ensure that Western Digital employees and employees of our suppliers are provided with a working environment where they are treated with respect and dignity, and are provided with fair and safe working conditions. Our human rights and labor approach includes policies, impact assessments, due diligence, stakeholder engagement, grievance mechanisms and remedies, as explained in more detail in our sustainability reports.
Health & Safety
Providing a safe workplace for our employees is a priority at Western Digital. We believe that safety is everyone’s business, and so we ask our employees to:
- Comply with applicable regulations and the Company’s safety procedures and instructions, and use necessary safety equipment as required,
- Strive to continually improve the safety of our facilities and prevent industrial injuries, and
- Report possible safety hazards so that they can be addressed expeditiously.
Western Digital maintains an integrated corporate quality, environmental, health and safety policy and we are committed to compliance with applicable occupational health and safety laws and regulations. We have established a global occupational health and safety management system that is applicable at all of our locations worldwide.
We establish supporting procedures at our facilities that address occupational safety, emergency preparedness, occupational illness and injury, industrial hygiene, machine safeguarding, physically demanding work, hazard communication (including access to Safety Data Sheets), and living conditions (where applicable). These policies and procedures are communicated to employees in various formats (including in-person training, web-based training, communications, postings, etc.) and are available in various languages.
We have qualified occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals who monitor our manufacturing facilities and we provide training programs on OHS practices for employees. In addition, we communicate to employees the requirements and responsibilities for safe and healthy work practices in accordance with our Company policy.
Western Digital has established safety committees at our facilities comprised of cross-functional teams of employees who meet regularly to assess the Company’s policies and processes and recommend improvements. Safety committee members work with health and safety personnel to keep track of occupational injuries, assess their root causes and recommend corrective action to avoid recurrences in the future. Committee members also conduct periodic inspections of our facilities and organize activities aimed at promoting safety within them.
Western Digital has also established Emergency Response Teams (ERTs) whose members are trained to respond to an incident (such as a fire, medical crisis, earthquake, etc.) and control its impact. ERTs assist in developing plans to organize an effective response and minimize injury and damage in the event of an incident.
Western Digital actively pursues industry-recognized certifications that provide globally accepted indicators reinforcing that our products and performance consistently meet high standards, including customer expectations and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. In support of our management systems, Western Digital conducts both internal assessments and third-party audits to evaluate its compliance with applicable environmental laws, regulations and international standards.
