Black History Month is an annual celebration of the past, present, and future of Black people in America.
This month, Best Buy is proud to highlight the stories of our Black employees with events like Trap Yoga, as we continue cultivating an inclusive culture.
Throughout our company, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) have been created to provide a space for diverse employees to come together in one place, providing allyship and community within Best Buy. One of those ERGs is our Black Employee Resource Group (BERG) that is made up of more than 1,300 members.
For the fifth year in a row, Best Buy is proud to be recognized by Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable Companies.
In announcing this year’s list, Barron’s specifically highlighted our commitment to helping customers reduce their carbon emissions, our e-waste recycling program and our gender-diverse board of directors. Our efforts have consistently placed us in the top five, coming in this year at No. 4.
Best Buy is committed to making a positive impact on the world and the people in it as we aim to form meaningful relationships with all our stakeholders, including employees, customers, vendors, our communities, and the environment.
For the seventh year in a row, Best Buy has been named to Fortune’s list of the World’s Most Admired Companies. Best Buy ranked third in the category for specialty retailers.
This prestigious list recognizes companies that are leaders across a variety of performance and reputation metrics. Our inclusion is a testament to the work done by our employees every day. Their expertise and passion to serve our customers brings life to our purpose to enrich lives through technology.
About the list
Fortune partnered with Korn Ferry, a prominent global organizational and research firm, to create this corporate reputation list, which considers the highest-revenue companies in 52 industries, including 333 companies in 30 countries.
For the 17th year, Best Buy was named one of the best places to work for the LGBTQIA+ community, earning a perfect rating of 100% from the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index.
Best Buy has taken great strides to work towards a more inclusive workplace for everyone. We are proud of this recognition, which reflects our continued commitment to workplace equality.
“We are committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels safe and supported in being their authentic selves, where our uniqueness and our diverse perspectives accelerate our learning, growth, and how we reflect all our communities,” said Mark Irvin, Best Buy’s chief inclusion, diversity, and talent officer.
For decades, Best Buy has been helping customers discover, try and buy some of the most innovative products out there. We’d go so far to say that no one knows consumer technology — and has the deep relationships with the people who buy it — like we do.
That’s why we’re excited to announce Best Buy Ads, our new in-house media company that will help you discover new and relevant products, services and offers. We partner with the brands that matter to you and, based on our deep customer relationships and insights, provide meaningful messages to you at the right times.
From carbon reduction to workplace diversity, Best Buy is proud to be a good corporate citizen.
And you don’t have to take our word for it. We’ve been recognized by a range of leading organizations as a leader on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
