Stronger Together
Mensaje a nuestra comunidad Foot Locker del consejero delegado, Richard Johnson
We stand resolute in our commitment to fight racial inequality and injustice. This commitment extends beyond words. It is part of our culture and the way we operate as an inclusive and diverse organization. We recognize that Black Culture plays a pivotal role in shaping Sneaker Culture – the foundation of our business at Foot Locker, Inc. We believe we have an obligation to add our voice and actions to drive meaningful and lasting change across our company and within the communities we serve.
Hoy, anunciamos que Foot Locker, Inc. compromete 200 millones de dólares estadounidenses durante los próximos cinco años para mejorar las vidas de los miembros de nuestro equipo y nuestros clientes en la comunidad negra a través del desarrollo económico y la educación. Este compromiso se manifestará de muchas maneras y en muchas partes de nuestro negocio, con planes construidos para permanecer mucho más allá de cinco años. Entre nuestros esfuerzos se incluirá:
Economic Development
- Invest in Black-owned businesses within youth culture
- Purchase more products from Black-owned brands
- Donate to organizations creating economic development and advancement opportunities for minorities – many of which will be based in the communities we serve
- Increase marketing spend with Black-owned companies, entrepreneurs, creators and collaborators
- Diversificar las inversiones de proveedores y agencias globales a empresas propiedad de negros
Educación
- Extend our existing Foot Locker Scholar Athletes program and other partnerships to benefit additional Black students
- Fund training for Black Creatives at Pensole Footwear Design Academy
- Implement internship, mentorship, and community outreach programs for Black team members and communities
- Invest in relevant education programs for Black team members with our Black Employee Resource Group called B.U.I.L.D
- Direct a portion of the funding from Foot Locker Foundation’s annual “On Our Feet” gala to beneficiaries supporting the Black community, including building upon our long-standing partnership with UNCF
We will hold ourselves accountable by pledging our transparency and by publishing an annual report card on our commitment and progress.
We stand with those who are working towards eliminating the deep racial inequities that exist today. We are committed to leveraging our platform to mobilize, unite, empower, and inspire our team members and customers across the globe.
Ha llegado el momento de actuar.
Atentamente,
Richard Johnson
Chairman & CEO
Foot Locker, Inc.
