Target (2017)
Distinguished Business Award
At Target, we believe that companies play an important role in creating greater opportunity and equality. When we have a deep understanding of our guests, create a diverse and inclusive workplace and think purposefully about our products and experiences, we elevate Target for our team and guests — and help create a better society for all. – Brian Cornell, Target CEO
Through our diverse teams in stores, distribution centers and headquarters, Target is able to understand and fulfill the needs of the guests we serve, influence and be influenced by the communities we support, and enhance points of view across our business. At Target, diversity and inclusion is an all-in, full-contact, participatory endeavor, where everyone has a voice and plays a role. Our long-standing legacy of giving and service, paired with our relationships with community organizations, are important voices in our commitment to behaving inclusively. The insights provided by our community partners help us create opportunities for everyone to feel respected and valued, allowing us to benefit from the richness of different perspectives. As a result, our collective work and purpose is strengthened, which is good for all.
To champion an inclusive society, we need to reflect diversity in our stores, distribution centers and at headquarters. To get there, we must continue to hire, retain, develop and engage team members across all dimensions of differences. At Target, we believe this isn’t about one team or department, everyone needs to play a role. – Caroline Wanga, Vice President of Diversity & Inclusion
