Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Kohl’s

At Kohl’s, we believe that understanding and embracing our differences is fundamental to creating an inclusive environment for all. It’s not just the right thing to do; it is critical in driving a diverse workforce and enhancing the brand experience, which drives business success. This work is not about some of our associates, it is about and for all of them. Read more in our 2023 Kohl’s Cares Report.

Our DEI Strategy

We are committed to our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) strategy, which is focused on Our People, Our Customers, and Our Community. This strategy guides how we are embedding DEI throughout our business by being intentional about our programs and practices and holding ourselves accountable by measuring our progress.

  • Our People

    We strive to be purposeful in attracting, growing and engaging a more diverse workforce to better reflect our customer base. Along this journey, we’re championing the value and strength of our differences to foster a workplace of inclusion and belonging.

  • Our Customers

    We strive to celebrate our differences and help more customers see themselves reflected in our brands. Along this journey, we’re working to offer culturally relevant products, designs and storytelling that are meaningful to our diverse customer base.

  • Our Community

    We strive to drive economic empowerment through conversations, programs and partnerships that improve the quality of life in the communities we serve.

Kohl’s Business Resource Groups

Kohl’s has eight Business Resource Groups (BRGs) with approximately 10,000 unique members who help make an impact across the organization, focusing on Our People, Our Customers, and Our Community. The BRGs are inherently inclusive groups because they are open to all associates; they welcome all allies, not just the community they represent.

We believe that supporting more equitable health and economic opportunities can improve the quality of life in the communities where we operate.

In support of this, Kohl’s is committed to providing $20 million in support to diverse communities from 2022 to 2025, specifically Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI), Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, veterans and active military members, and women.

Additionally, we continue to provide access to embed and activate supplier diversity best practices across merchandising and non-merchandising supply chains to support diversity in our supplier base. Learn more about the qualifications to become a supplier for Kohl’s.
