These groups provide professional development and help shape the culture of our company and our business practices and volunteer in the communities we serve. Our Inclusion Resource Groups (IRGs) create an opportunity for associates to connect with one another and give associates meaningful ways to share and celebrate a range of perspectives and experiences. We do this by creating an environment where everyone is treated fairly and respectfully by providing education on diversity, equity, and inclusion and by ensuring equity in development and career growth opportunities. We foster a culture where everyone belongs and is included, can bring their whole selves to work and perform at their peak. We focus on recruiting, retaining, and advancing diverse talent that reflects the customers we serve and the communities where we live and work. We recognize that every associate has something unique to add to our brand and business.

It’s an acknowledgment of the work ahead of us, a transparent look into where we are today, and a nod to where we’re headed. This first-ever ESG report for our company isn’t about declaring we have it all figured out – it’s quite the opposite. We refer to this journey as Consciously Designing Positive Change, to represent and continually remind ourselves of the great impact we can achieve together in the world. We have launched the next stage of this mission by organizing our efforts around an intentional environmental, social, and governance (ESG) structure and starting the very necessary work of embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into all facets of our business.

We exist to enhance lives and to create fulfilling and respectful workplaces where we can make a difference through our products, platform and advocacy. We embrace this journey because we know we do not exist solely to sell products. We use the word “journey” deliberately: this has been, and will continue to be, an ongoing process of listening, learning and challenging ourselves to improve and to build trust with our stakeholders, starting with our inspiring customers and the dedicated associates who are committed to serving them every day. In 2021, we set out to transform our business and embarked on a journey as a new, stand-alone public company. With more than 30,000 passionate global associates, we are united by a commitment to provide our customers with products and experiences that make them feel good inside and out. At Victoria’s Secret & Co., we believe in doing what is right in our industry, for our communities and for the world.
