Advancing equity
We recognize the responsibility, power and opportunity we have to advance equity by focusing on race and its intersections with other aspects of identity. We acknowledge and embrace difference, and design everything we do with the understanding that diversity makes our work and our world better.
The opportunity ahead
We have a strong foundation of values, principles and philosophies that have been grounded in equity with incredible employees who continue to hold us accountable for centering diversity, equity and inclusion in everything we do. We have the power to make systemic change, led by each and every one of our employees, and to influence change in our industry. We’re not only up for it—we’re fueled by the hard work ahead and the knowledge that progress is the only option.
Our people
We’re in pursuit of inspiring people—including employees—to be their best selves. A diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace is absolutely key for us to fulfill that mission, and we own the charge to see this through.
Our current representation
We are committed to reflecting the communities in which we work and serve. We know that our work to attract, develop, progress and retain talent from marginalized groups is essential to our ability to innovate and thoughtfully build for our growing client base. Since our founding, we’ve had an explicit focus on representation of women in places where they’ve historically been on the margins—particularly in technical roles and leadership. This has yielded results and remained a strength. In fiscal year 2022, women represented more than 40% of our technical employees (compared to an industry average of ~27%) and more than 70% of our senior leaders.
We have work to do when it comes to building a more racially and ethnically diverse company, particularly in terms of the representation of Black and Latinx talent in leadership, and in understanding representation beyond the women/men gender binary.
Women
Gender diversity
We’re proud of the number of women at Stitch Fix: our Founder, CEO, 44% of technical employees, 71% in leadership and 44% on our Board.
People of color
Racial & ethnic diversity
Our products and workplaces are made better with racial and ethnic diversity. We are committed to increasing the representation of people of color across our teams & our Board.
dollar-for-dollar
Pay equity
We pay each person the same amount as someone else performing the same job in the same location, regardless of gender, race or age, based on data-driven market analysis.
Work, restyled
The past few years has taught us that being tied to particular geographies limits our ability to attract and retain historically underrepresented talent who want to live and work outside of typical “tech hubs.” Learn more about how we’ve centered equity in our future-of-work plans.
Our ongoing work
We know that everyone we serve is one of a kind, and we’re committed to engaging with our clients, partners and vendors with that uniqueness in mind.
Taking responsibility
We choose to use our resources and influence wisely to create positive, systemic change in the apparel industry and beyond.
Community connections
Supporting social justice
Beginning in 2020, we committed to donating $500K over 5 years to advance social justice, with our initial $100K going toward organizations supporting Black lives. We are committed to the ongoing work and support of dismantling systemic racism and other injustices.
Supporting an equal right to vote
The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and to advancing a more equitable society. We make sure that all of our U.S. employees, no matter their identity or political party, have time to vote. Our partnerships with Civic Alliance and Time To Vote reflect our commitment to supporting the systemic change needed to protect voter rights.
