A total of 15 retailers/wholesalers have made Forbes’ sixth annual roster of the 500 most diverse businesses in the U.S.
The list was developed based on an independent survey from a sample of approximately 45,000 U.S.-based employees. The survey was administered anonymously in a series of online panels where participants were asked to rate their organizations on criteria such as age, gender, ethnicity, disability and sexual-orientation equality.
Respondents belonging to underrepresented groups also were asked to nominate organizations other than their own. The final list ranked the 500 employers that received the most recommendations and demonstrated diversity-related best-practices.
Here are the retailers/wholesalers that made the list, along with their overall rankings:
- # 9 Williams-Sonoma
- # 30 Ulta Beauty
- # 37 Grainger
- # 39 LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics
