article:Hydrofining Catalyst Launches Initiative to Promote Women in LeadershipHydrofining Catalyst, a leading provider of catalysts for the refining industry, announced today a new partnership with Catalyst, a global nonprofit organization that works to accelerate women into leadership positions. The partnership is part of Hydrofining Catalyst’s initiative to promote diversity and inclusion within their organization and the refining industry as a whole.Founded in 1962, Catalyst has a long-standing reputation as a champion for women in the workplace. Their mission is to accelerate progress for women through workplace inclusion. They partner with companies around the world to build workplaces that work for women, providing research, tools, and consulting services to help organizations attract, retain, and advance women in their companies.For Hydrofining Catalyst, the partnership with Catalyst is an important next step in their commitment to fostering a work environment where diversity is celebrated and inclusion is a priority."We recognize that the refining industry has historically been a male-dominated field, and we want to change that," said John Smith, CEO of Hydrofining Catalyst. "By partnering with Catalyst, we are taking proactive steps to promote a more diverse and inclusive workforce, which we believe will benefit our company and our customers in the long run."The partnership will involve a variety of initiatives, including leadership development programs for women, unconscious bias training for all employees, and the establishment of employee resource groups focused on diversity and inclusion. In addition, Hydrofining Catalyst will work with Catalyst to conduct a gender pay equity analysis and develop strategies to close any gender pay gaps."We are thrilled to partner with Hydrofining Catalyst on this important initiative," said Lorraine Hariton, President and CEO of Catalyst. "Research shows that companies with more diverse workforces perform better, so promoting gender diversity is not just the right thing to do, it's also good for business."In addition to the partnership with Catalyst, Hydrofining Catalyst has also launched a new internal program to promote women's leadership within the organization. The program, called "Women in Hydrofining Catalyst," will provide mentoring and sponsorship opportunities for women at all levels of the company, as well as training in leadership skills and career development."Our goal is to create a workplace where all employees feel valued and supported, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background," said Smith. "We believe that by promoting women's leadership within Hydrofining Catalyst, we can create a more innovative, productive, and successful company."The launch of Hydrofining Catalyst's diversity and inclusion initiative comes at a critical time for the refining industry, which has been facing increasing scrutiny around its environmental impact. By promoting diversity and inclusion within the industry, Hydrofining Catalyst is not only taking steps to create a more equitable workplace, but also positioning itself as a responsible and forward-thinking leader in the refining industry."We recognize that we have a responsibility to not only be good corporate citizens, but also to drive positive change within our industry," said Smith. "Our partnership with Catalyst and our Women in Hydrofining Catalyst program are just two examples of our commitment to making a positive impact.
