Positive Impact Through Diversity
Hyundai has a history of supporting programs aimed at recognizing the positive impact and achievements of diverse artists, entertainers, and actors. We believe in supporting organizations whose focus and efforts are to provide communities an enriching cultural experience.
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are employee-run social organizations that aim to better not only life at Hyundai, but the community at large. These groups provide a supportive environment where employees with shared experiences or interests can connect, collaborate, and advocate for positive change. By focusing on various goals, our ERGs enhance personal and professional development, raise cultural awareness, and drive community engagement.

Hyundai is a founding donor of the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), the newest Smithsonian Museum, which chronicles African American history and contributions to society for millions of visitors to see.
