The diversity of our workforce, of our customers and of our vendors is one of the strengths of our Company. Our pledge of diversity is not simply a corporate initiative, it is a living part of our culture. Safeway is committed to providing an environment in which individuals are respected and supported. Teamwork is encouraged and enriched by everyone's contribution. Our view of diversity is all-inclusive and covers the many ways our employees are different — including gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age and disability.

Safeway has Diversity Resource Boards and sponsors seven networking groups at our Corporate Offices, with chapters in various Division locations. The Network Groups focus on issues related to Women, African American, Asian, LGBT and Hispanic individuals, single moms and our corporate social responsibility group. These Network Groups are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment and providing members with opportunities for personal, professional and organizational growth.

We are proud to have won the Catalyst Award for advancing women in the workplace.
