These results will keep GM on the right track : this is the company ’ s third consecutive year of full-size pickup leadership and its 22nd year as the fullsize SUV leader .

GM earned more than 8 % of the US electric vehicle market in this quarter due to extraordinary sales of the Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV .

“ The GM team continues to deliver incredible results , and our Q3 earnings report is evidence of that ,” said Barra .

Diversity at GM General Motors ’ automotive vision is to build a world with no crashes , emissions or congestion , and it is also dedicated to zero exclusion . As an inclusive company , GM is proud of the welcoming environment it has made over the past decades , where ‘ everyone feels welcomed and valued for who they are ’. The 167,000 GM employees are encouraged to bring wide-ranging perspectives and experiences to solve supply chain and sustainability challenges .

“ Diversity is all about the pipeline ,” Barra said . “ It ’ s not just about gender , but about all forms of diversity . At GM , when we search for executive candidates , we require a diverse slate . If we find that a position has no diverse candidate , I ask the question , ‘ What are we doing so that three years from now there will be a diverse candidate to consider ?’”

GM is proud to be leading equal representation from an executive level and will welcome the day when female leadership is the norm . Barra is a founding member of GM ’ s Inclusion Advisory Board , on which she serves as the Chair .

“ The success of every company is about its people ,” Barra told Michigan Daily . “ I make sure I understand key parts of the business and , having worked in an assembly plant , having been a plant manager , having been responsible for product development , having understood HR – all of those things really round out to give me a lot of the skills that I need as CEO .”
