Since Best Buy began participating in the St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign eight years ago, we have proven that when a community comes together, amazing things can happen.
The St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign is back at Best Buy, and starting Oct. 12, we are asking our employees and customers to come together once again to fight childhood cancer.
We are inviting customers to donate at the registers in every Best Buy store, online at BestBuy.com and during in-home service visits.
Sustainability has been at the core of what we do at Best Buy for decades, and now we’re making our biggest commitment yet to positively impact the planet.
Today, we announced we have signed The Climate Pledge, a commitment to be carbon neutral across our business by 2040 — a decade faster than our previous goal of 2050.
The Climate Pledge was co-founded by Amazon and Global Optimism in 2019 to mobilize companies across multiple business sectors to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, 10 years ahead of the United Nations’ Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
As a founding partner in the Partnership for a ConnectedMN, Best Buy is proud to announce that $2.1 million has been awarded in grants to 23 organizations that provide support to students in urban and rural communities across the state.
ConnectedMN, a public-private partnership announced by Gov. Tim Walz in June, aims to address digital inequities facing Minnesota students by helping meet the technology and connectivity needs of families with school-aged children. This first round of grants will help an estimated 68,000 students by providing access to the computing devices and internet that is essential for distance learning and accessing critical support services.
Best Buy is gearing up for the holidays by hiring thousands of employees across the country.
All our stores will host job fairs on Sept. 24-25 and Oct. 3-4 for seasonal positions. Those interested can apply online for jobs in sales, customer service, merchandising inventory, car install technicians and more, as well as for positions in our distribution centers.
The job fairs may include same-day interviews and on-the-spot job offers.
And new this year, Best Buy offers a minimum of $15 per hour starting pay.
