Thank you taking the time to share your feedback, and we are sorry your experience hasn’t been more positive. We are working hard to increase our focus and attention in the areas of diversity and inclusion. It’s one of the reasons our Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer joined us in the latter part of 2020. We’ve recently completed a global assessment of our Diversity and Inclusion practices to get a baseline understanding of our maturity landscape to help us prioritize our focus areas. While we’ve made a lot of progress over the pasts two years by launching diversity metrics/KPIs for the ELT, expanding our programming for ERGs and upskilling associates around the globe regarding unconscious bias, our work in this area is ongoing. With respect to promotions and other employment practices, Alcon is committed to ensuring equal opportunity for all associates. If you have reason to believe that any discrimination or unfair treatment may have occurred, we encourage you to notify the Ethics Helpline. At Alcon, we want to ensure all our associates feel heard and we invite you to reach out to your HR representative with your feedback.
