Harley-Davidson, Inc.

In 1903, out of a small shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, four young men lit a cultural wildfire that would grow and spread across geographies and generations. Their innovation and imagination for what was possible on two wheels sparked a transportation revolution and lifestyle that would make Harley-Davidson the most desirable motorcycle brand in the world.

Our Mission: More than building machines, we stand for the timeless pursuit of adventure. Freedom for the soul.

Our Vision: Building our legend and leading our industry through innovation, evolution and emotion.

Our Mission and Vision honor our past and help define our future. And what we hope you see in these guiding statements is a consumer-led company that’s driven to win, lead and deliver a Harley-Davidson experience that our riders expect and deserve – one where adventure and “freedom for the soul” are the payoff. 

To do this, we are redefining our culture to reignite the company’s soul and spirit. We are calling our cultural journey “H-D#1” represented by our recognizable #1 logo, introduced in 1969 to celebrate a National Racing Championship. The #1 logo is uniquely ours - an iconic symbol of winning and the hard work it takes to get there. Our employees and dealers are rallying around ten H-D#1 leadership principles to become a winning, high-performing company. 

We continue to rethink how we attract talent and reinforce our commitment to inclusivity. We are being intentional as we build our workforce for the future. We are a signatory to the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion Pledge, committing to cultivating an environment where all ideas are welcomed. Recent examples:

• We celebrate a Month of Inclusion to further efforts on inclusion & belonging
• We joined the Business Coalition for Equality Act in support of federal LGBTQ+ rights
• More than 50% of our new hires were female or underrepresented talent
• We achieved our goal to increase women and diverse representation in manager & above hires
• We offer new inclusive leadership learning experiences with the YWCA and African American Chamber of Commerce

Our 7 employee resource groups provide opportunities for employees to exchange ideas, deliver programming, develop, and support business initiatives. Current ERGs:

• C.R.E.W. (Women)
• AP (Asian Professionals)
• YP (Young Professionals)
• B.O.L.D. (African American)
• H.O.L.A. (Hispanic/Latinx)
• E.A.G.L.E. (LGBTQ+)
• MAV (Military & Veterans)
