Our Culture

Leaping Forward, Together.

We like to say, We Run So Life Can Leap Forward. That’s “WE” as in all of us here at John Deere. Because if we’re going to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges in helping produce life’s daily essentials, we need a workplace where all voices are heard.

Living Our Values

Outreach

Community Outreach

We contribute to the Science, Engineering, Communication, Mathematics, and Enrichment (SECME). Developed for K-12 students, this national program encourages young people who are interested in science. 

So our support is broad. We help bring high-quality students to the program. We help teachers develop and deliver engaging lesson plans that support inquiry-based learning. We help show how parents can inspire their students. And we help create strong business networks that can assist STEM programs. Our support is monetary as well as our time and expertise. John Deere Inspire is a global initiative at John Deere designed to inspire the next generations of innovators today.

Suppliers and Dealers

Supplier Diversity

We work to maintain a supplier base that reflects the diversity of our markets worldwide. Since 1980, the John Deere Supplier Diversity program has established and nurtured relationships with diverse suppliers. Why is this important? A diverse group of suppliers brings a broader perspective to our business. A broader range of ideas and innovations, too. All this leads to better business for us … and our suppliers.

Dealer Diversity

John Deere dealers are independently owned businesses. Yet, they are John Deere's face to our customers. They must understand and respond to their local customers’ needs. This is why we take great strides in recruiting high-caliber individuals to take on the John Deere brand.
