The DiversityInc Top 50 list, issued yearly since 2001,
recognizes the nation’s top companies for diversity and inclusion
management. These companies excel in such areas as hiring,
retaining and promoting women, minorities, people with
disabilities, LGBT and veterans.
“We are honored to be recognized by DiversityInc for our
commitments to diversity and philanthropy,” said Eric Foss,
Chairman, President & CEO, Aramark. “Fostering an equal and
inclusive workplace culture, centered around a shared purpose, is
vital to meeting the needs of our team members, customers and
communities, while also delivering on our mission to enrich and
nourish lives.”
DiversityInc’s extensive annual survey yields an empirically
driven ranking based on talent results in the workforce and
management, senior leadership accountability, talent programs,
workplace practices, philanthropy and supplier diversity. This
year’s competition was improved by adding questions that connect
talent programs and workplace practices to desired talent results.
The Top 50 analysis also addressed the intersectionality of race by
analyzing women and men representation of each race/ethnicity
separately, rather than combined.
“We revamped our algorithms and now have a reliability quotient
of .92,” notes Luke Visconti, founder and CEO of DiversityInc.
“DiversityInc Top 50 Companies have a decisive advantage because
they treat people more fairly than other companies. Everybody,
including white men, are far better off working for them because
there is more opportunity at better run companies. Top 50 companies
also deliver a greater-than-average return for shareholders.”
Aramark’s diversity and inclusion efforts have been well
recognized, including being named a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ
Equality with a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation's Corporate Equality Index; a Best Place to Work for
Disability Inclusion by the Disability Equality Index with a
100% top-score; a Top 40 Best Company for Diversity by Black
Enterprise magazine and a Top 50 Employer for Equal
Opportunity. In addition, Eric Foss, Aramark’s Chairman,
President & CEO, is a Catalyst CEO Champion for Change,
joining 50+ global business leaders who have pledged to help
accelerate more women -- including women of color -- into senior
leadership positions.
Through its global volunteer and philanthropic program, Aramark
Building Community, the company focuses on inspiring families to
lead healthier lifestyles and empowering youth and adults to
succeed at work through education and skills development. Aramark
also supports national and local partnerships, and contributes to
nonprofit organizations through its Charitable Fund -- investing
financial resources, volunteering the skills of employees, and
developing community partnerships to make a meaningful
difference.
