We're more than just a company, we're a community and a family. A place where you can be yourself, feel supported and make a real impact.

A message from our DE&I Leader

Sustaining Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) at LS&Co.

At Levi Strauss & Co., we’re committed to creating a workplace where people from all walks of life feel confident that their voices will be heard, and their contributions welcomed and celebrated.

As I often say, in DE&I, there are no silver bullets. This means that the organizations that embrace a multi-year, multifaceted commitment to assess, plan, invest, measure and drive accountability for their plans and progress are the ones that will ultimately be successful in creating sustainable change and positively impacting their employee experience and culture through DE&I.

This is what we put in motion at LS&Co.

Our continued progress is the result of the passion, purpose and hard work of many teams within our company. This is and must be a group effort, one that starts with our CEO and cascades throughout our organization to our frontline global retail, distribution centers and plant team members.

This is an ongoing process, and one that will take tenacity, care and commitment. But, guided by a long company legacy of originality, empathy, integrity and courage, it’s a challenge I’m confident we’ll continue to meet to drive sustainable change.

Inclusion in Practice

In our workplace, inclusion is not just a buzzword, it's a way of life woven into the fabric of our company. We're committed to providing our employees with the resources and support they need to be their best selves and thrive, regardless of their background.

"Lacking a formal design degree, the best trait I thought I had to offer was my willingness to learn. However, I was lucky to have leaders who recognized the opportunity to foster new talent. Diversity, equity and inclusion are three very essential topics for me. In my role as a leader, I seek out valuable traits and experiences, looking beyond degrees. I make a commitment to develop potential that I see, as others have done for me."

"Since the founding of BeYou Alliance as the first LGBTQIA+ ERG in Asia last year, we’ve witnessed the voices of our community and allies become stronger by being together. Despite the discrimination that happens outside the company, we know that we have the support to be the most powerful version of our authentic selves in the workplace. We did not just start an ERG; we started a movement. "

"As I look back at the various teams that I’ve had the opportunity to lead and the peers that I’ve worked alongside, I’m so thankful. It was through them that I learned to appreciate many different perspectives, along with learning what we shared. Learning and growing from those different from you should be something you seek out and make part of a continual life journey. "

"Having a diverse and inclusive workforce, supported by a diverse and inclusive workspace, reflects who we are as a company. As an organization that champions gender-inclusion, we are fostering an environment that shows that this company doesn't just tolerate our differences, but celebrates, respects and affirms them."

"Today, DE&I is about visibility and representation, about being seen and valued. People need to see themselves in the people they work with. For some, work may be the only refuge where a person feels valued, the only place they can be their true selves. I have a responsibility to those who come after me to help contribute to that environment — that place where people can be their best selves and be truly who they are. "

Being part of something bigger than yourself.

Through our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), our employees get to connect with colleagues who share their passions, lived experiences and culture. We empower our ERGs to create a sense of belonging, while supporting and driving change to make a difference in our workplace and the communities where we live and serve.
