Following the establishment of an Executive Diversity Council in 2020, Aramark has made progress on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The company conducted a thorough assessment of its current state and created teams to help attract and recruit diverse talent, grow and develop its people, and ensure a culture of accountability. Fifty five percent of the direct reports of CEO, John Zillmer, are women, and 32.3 percent of salaried managers are people of color. Membership in employee resource groups (ERGs) has increased more than 25 percent in the past six months, and more than 122 events or engagement activities have taken place in the past year. The report also provides updates and progress on employee engagement, how Aramark empowers health and wellness, builds local communities, and sources products in an ethical and inclusive way.
