Diversity and Inclusion at Lowe's
Lowe’s delivers products and services across a multitude of cultures and geographies. We embrace diversity in all of its forms as a core value at Lowe’s. Our employees, customers and suppliers are becoming more and more diverse, so our success depends upon our ability to maintain an environment of inclusion where all customers feel welcome, all engaged employees can succeed, we understand the preferences of the communities we serve, and we work effectively with our suppliers and fellow employees.

Our diversity and inclusion initiative includes objectives in the areas of human resources, community outreach, marketing and suppliers.

Human Resources
Lowe’s is an equal opportunity employer with practices and programs administered without discrimination on the basis characteristics protected under applicable law. Our job posting procedures, annual Gallup employee survey, employee publication (“Lowedown”), intranet site (“LowesNet”), Open Door policy, Alertline telephone complaint-line, and training and development programs are designed to foster open communication, inclusion and equal employment opportunities. Over 2,700 managers have participated in our diversity education and training workshops. Our leadership competency model includes an emphasis on effectively managing diversity and inclusion.

Marketing
We have one of the most aggressive and integrated multi-cultural marketing initiatives in the retail industry. It is one that includes multi-media plans, creative, and in-store strategies and tactics designed to attract multi-cultural consumers into our stores and to enhance their in-store experience when they visit us.

We actively seek business relationships with successful minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs).
