This is our first time on list. We climbed more than 200 spots in ranking.
It was a university career fair that first sparked Haylee Weaver’s interest in Best Buy.
The management information systems student wasn’t really sure what she was looking for at first, and she felt a bit overwhelmed by the event until she saw the Best Buy booth. It was a brand she was familiar with, so she stopped to learn more.
She talked to a company recruiter who helped place her in an internship that matched her skills. Then, following graduation, Haylee accepted a job as a product analyst on Best Buy’s digital and technology team.
Best Buy is proud to be among 98 companies named to the 2020 Diversity Best Practices Inclusion Index.
We’re one of just two retailers on the index, which helps us understand trends and gaps in demographic representation within our organization.
“I believe everyone should have an equal opportunity to achieve their dreams and be provided with access to resources and the support to do so,” said Amelia Hardy, vice president of inclusion and diversity. “Best Buy is committed to becoming one of the best places to work by creating space and experiences to allow employees, customers and communities to succeed.”
Brandy Cardozo, the general manager at our Best Buy store in Melbourne Beach, Florida, remembers the exact moment a fire was lit in her to become a strong female leader.
She was working for a different retailer at the time, when her boss came up to her and said, “I don’t know why you’re working so hard. Your kind never gets promoted.” He was talking about women.
She eventually did get promoted, but one day she looked around and realized how discouraged she was by being the only woman in the room of male leaders.
Best Buy is proud to be named to the list of Best Companies for Women to Advance 2020, a new list from Parity.org that recognizes companies that have made significant commitments to the advancement of women.
We were one of only 35 companies that made the list, including just 11 large companies (5,000 or more employees).
“We are determined to be an inclusive and diverse company, not just because it’s good business sense but because it’s our fundamental obligation as leaders and as human beings,” said Kamy Scarlett, Best Buy chief human resources officer.
Best Buy has once again earned a perfect score of 100% on the Disability Equality Index (DEI), ranking among the leading companies on the list of Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion.
The DEI is a prominent benchmarking tool for Fortune 1000 companies and leading law firms to gauge their level of disability workplace inclusion against competitors. The criteria include culture and leadership, enterprisewide access, community engagement, supplier diversity and employment practices, such as benefits, recruitment and retention.
At Best Buy, we believe that an accessible and inclusive workplace is vital to attracting and retaining the best talent and to delivering a great employee experience.
Best Buy was the top-rated retailer in a new assessment of the supply chain practices at the largest global information and communications technology (ICT) brands.
We also ranked 10th overall among the 49 companies included in KnowTheChain’s 2020 ICT Benchmark. KnowTheChain is a nonprofit that serves as a resource for companies and investors to understand and address the risks of forced labor in global supply chains.
Best Buy scored 52 out of 100, well above the average score of 30.
Best Buy is proud to rank No. 46 on the 2020 list of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens, moving up 21 spots from last year.
This list recognizes outstanding environmental, social and governance (ESG) transparency and performance among the 1,000 largest public companies in the U.S. Our ranking places us in the top 5% of all companies evaluated, and we ranked second in the retail category.
ISS ESG, the responsible investing research arm of Institutional Shareholder Services, compiled the list.
We're one of two U.S. retailers to make the rankings by Ethisphere Institute.
These rankings reflect the ways we strive to enrich lives through technology by serving all stakeholders.
In the first year of the ranking, we earned the third-highest score among retailers.
