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.”

MINNEAPOLIS, July 21, 2020 — Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE: BBY) today announced updates related to employee pay evolution and Q2 FY21 quarter-to-date sales performance.
Employee Pay Evolution
The company is raising the starting hourly wage for all Domestic employees to $15 effective Aug. 2.
“Strong consumer demand, combined with shopping experiences that emphasize safety and convenience, has helped produce our sales results to date,” Best Buy CEO Corie Barry said.
Best Buy is proud to announce that we have signed on as a founding member of the Parity.org ParityPledge in Support of People of Color.
It’s a public commitment to interview at least one qualified person of color for every open leadership role that is at the vice president level or higher, including the C-suite and board of directors. There are no quotas or deadlines.
This latest pledge is in addition to the ParityPledge in Support of Women, which we previously signed to increase the representation of women in leadership.
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 is teaming up with other prominent Minnesota organizations to help fight the digital divide across the state.
We’re proud to be one of the leaders of the Partnership for a ConnectedMN, a public-private partnership announced by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on June 30. Through avenues like grantmaking, the partnership will support initiatives that help K-12 students from disinvested communities across the state of Minnesota get access to the computing devices and internet access they need to facilitate distance learning and access critical support services.
Today’s Supreme Court decision is encouraging news for “Dreamers,” the approximately 700,000 undocumented young adults who were brought to the United States as children and are able to continue the lives they’ve always known in this country under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
“Dreamers play an important role in our everyday lives as coworkers, business owners, friends and neighbors. They make an enormous, positive impact on American companies, communities and the economy, including as essential health care workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Best Buy Chief Executive Officer Corie Barry.
