Inclusion + Equity + Accessibility = Diversity

We're called partners, because it's not just a career, it's our passion. Together, we embrace diversity to create a place where each of us can be ourselves. And we always treat each other with respect and dignity.

But don't just take it from us—take a look at our record:

  • In 2008 and 2009, we scored 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index.
  • In 2008, we opened our 125th Urban Coffee Opportunities store in partnership with the Earvin "Magic" Johnson Development Corporation.
  • We supported the 40th Anniversary of La Raza, sampling drinks for over 25,000 conference attendees.
  • Black Enterprise magazine has ranked us among the 40 Best Companies for Diversity in the U.S., 15 Best in Senior Management Diversity and 15 Best in Corporate Board Diversity.
  • The Disability Rights Legal Center has honored us for nurturing an environment of respect and sensitivity to people with disabilities.

We hold each other and ourselves to very high standards of diversity, and it shows.
