People are critical to Kum & Go’s success — both with the associates we employ and the customers we serve. Any organization not focused on people, which is the core of diversity, equity and inclusion, is setting themselves up
for failure. We need people that will share ideas,
experiences and feedback to make us better or to
allow us to innovate solutions. If we don’t have
all voices, how can we serve all customers?
Heather Schott, Kum & Go LC
It is important because it is good for business, and the right thing to do. Yesway has a commitment to diversity, equity
and inclusion, and it is inculcated into our culture. From our leadership down to the store level, diversity is something that is meaningful to our organization. Giving voice to divergent thoughts and experiences drives creativity and solves problems. Simply put, diversity is important to
Yesway because it drives positive
business outcomes.
Derek Gaskins, Yesway Inc.
Diversity, equity and inclusion are critical to
our organization because we recognize them
as strategic drivers of long-term business
success. It's that simple.
Scott Myers, Altria Group Distribution Co.
To truly empower our workforce, both for today’s needs and
in the future, we need to hire and retain top talent while
also developing and promoting the best people with equal opportunity for all. We can’t take full advantage of our human capital potential unless we leverage the power of DE&I across the business. A significant contributor to 7-Eleven’s success has been our ability to innovate and anticipate the needs of customers. In order for us to continue to lead and
grow, we must have a workforce — including
leadership — that is as diverse as the people and neighborhoods we serve.
Larry Hughes, 7-Eleven Inc.
