Diversity and inclusion are the backbone of our vibrant workforce, and essential to our success. We employ more than 270,000 unique people in different cultures around the world and each one of our employees is unique, so we’re constantly pushing to make sure our workplace is reflective of our diverse group of employees and customers.

We want people with different abilities, backgrounds, experiences, gender identities, and orientations to come to Aramark and be successful. We want to encourage a culture that appreciates people’s differences and their similarities. 

Our diversity and inclusion programs and initiatives are focused around three areas:

• Workforce: Our goal is to hire, retain and develop people with different backgrounds that reflect the communities that we serve.
• Workplace: We strive to create a workplace culture that values and leverages our many differences and drives innovation through inclusion.
• Marketplace: We partner with diverse suppliers and community organizations so we can deliver culturally relevant products and services.

Governed by our Executive Diversity Advisory Board, we also have a number of resource groups available to our employees. Our resource groups create communities for those within the targeted demographic and their allies to help make sure the organization is meeting the needs of all team members. Our resource groups include:

Our diversity and inclusion efforts have been recognized by many notable organizations like the Human Rights Campaign, Diversity Inc., Black Enterprise Magazine, CAREERS & the disABLED Magazine and LATINO Magazine.
