Schnuck Markets Honored For Workplace Diversity

Schnuck Markets has been recognized as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2024 by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group. This survey of more than 220,000 individuals included representation at more than 1.5 million companies in America. 

“Diversity is a widely discussed topic – and it remains a crucial factor as people look for an employer or a business partner,” said Nancy Cooper, global editor and chief of Newsweek. “Newsweek and market-data research firm Plant-A Insights are proud to introduce ‘America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2024,’ highlighting companies that are committed to offering a diverse and inclusive work environment.” 

In 2020, Schnucks launched a comprehensive diversity, equity and inclusion plan, Unity Is Power (UIP). Internally UIP is focused on creating a workplace where all teammates regardless of background are welcome and feel valued, while externally, it focuses on efforts to increase community support for organizations and vendors that promote racial equity. Last year, the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis honored Schnucks with the Civic Leadership Award for these efforts. 

“Our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are more than just words on paper. It’s how we celebrate our differences and learn from each other’s experiences and how we serve the numerous communities in which we operate,” said Emma Lumpkins, Schnucks senior director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. “It’s also nourishing people’s lives by providing a welcoming work environment to our nearly 12,000 teammates whose efforts make it possible for our customers to feed their families.”
