We advance women in leadership and create the conditions for them to thrive.
Rise Together is our six-month leadership acceleration program designed to advance women in leadership while driving systemic change across the organization.
The program places women at the center while engaging sponsors, line managers, and HR Business Partners to create a strong ecosystem of support. Participants take part in Discovery Labs, sponsorship circles, and leadership conversations that explore topics such as leading with identity, influencing with integrity, and transitioning from performer to strategist.
Each month focuses on building confidence, strengthening advocacy, and connecting personal leadership growth with our core values.
To sustain the momentum beyond the program,our Rise Together Alumni connects former participants, strengthening connections, increasing visibility, and fostering ongoing leadership development.
“From engineer to business leader, my journey has been built on grit, perseverance, and the courage shown by generations of women who paved the way. It’s my honor to help take this first step toward a future where women rise on a truly leveled field—where progress is so natural, sponsors are no longer needed.”
“Sponsorship reminds me to intentionally hold space for women to speak with both vulnerability and ambition, grounded in my commitment to champion their growth and visibility.”
“Experiencing sponsorship as a Rise Together program graduate felt like walking through doors that were unlocked and held open for me, rather than closed and locked. I’m grateful to say that those doors led to connections, conversations, and opportunities I would not have experienced on my own.”
Our Employee Resource Groups play a vital role in strengthening Inclusion & Belonging at dsm-firmenich. Through dialogue, community-building, and impactful initiatives, our ERGs help amplify voices, foster belonging, and bring people together to go beyond - supporting our culture, our teams, and our shared ambition to bring progress to life.
