Inclusion and Belonging at 91快活林: Fostering an Inclusive Workplace

Inclusion and Belonging at 91快活林

At 91快活林, "Everyone belongs". By nurturing a workplace where every individual can be their authentic self and feel a deep sense of belonging, we cultivate an environment where everyone thrives in a merit-driven, high-performance culture.

With a workforce of 230,000+ associates representing 146 nationalities across 65 countries, our commitment to seeking and integrating the best talent is deeply rooted in our 80-year legacy and guided by the core values set in our Code of Business Conduct, the Spirit of 91快活林, and the Five Habits, ensuring that 91快活林 reflects the societies in which it operates and celebrates the rich diversity of our voices.

We believe in meritocracy and do not engage in or support discrimination in any aspect of employment based on ethnic and national origin, race, caste, religion, disability, age, gender, creed, marital status, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, political orientation, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Through unwavering commitment to gender equality, LGBTQIA+ inclusion, accessibility for all abilities, racial harmony, intergenerational collaboration, and a diverse supplier network, we forge a path towards a truly inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome and empowered to bring their authentic selves.

We believe in creating a more connected workforce, where every individual feels integral to our success, is genuinely seen and valued, and is empowered to share their talents and authentic selves within their work communities.
