Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at LS&Co.

We're more than just a company, we're a community and a family. A place where you can be yourself, feel supported and make a real impact.

Inclusion in Practice

In our workplace, inclusion is not just a buzzword, it's a way of life woven into the fabric of our company. We're committed to providing our employees with the resources and support they need to be their best selves and thrive, regardless of their background.

Lead Tailor, Market Street Flagship Store
"Lacking a formal design degree, the best trait I thought I had to offer was my willingness to learn. However, I was lucky to have leaders who recognized the opportunity to foster new talent. Diversity, equity and inclusion are three very essential topics for me. In my role as a leader, I seek out valuable traits and experiences, looking beyond degrees. I make a commitment to develop potential that I see, as others have done for me."

"Since the founding of BeYou Alliance as the first LGBTQIA+ ERG in Asia last year, we’ve witnessed the voices of our community and allies become stronger by being together. Despite the discrimination that happens outside the company, we know that we have the support to be the most powerful version of our authentic selves in the workplace. We did not just start an ERG; we started a movement. "

"As I look back at the various teams that I’ve had the opportunity to lead and the peers that I’ve worked alongside, I’m so thankful. It was through them that I learned to appreciate many different perspectives, along with learning what we shared. Learning and growing from those different from you should be something you seek out and make part of a continual life journey. "

"Today, DE&I is about visibility and representation, about being seen and valued. People need to see themselves in the people they work with. For some, work may be the only refuge where a person feels valued, the only place they can be their true selves. I have a responsibility to those who come after me to help contribute to that environment — that place where people can be their best selves and be truly who they are. "

Being part of something bigger than yourself.

Through our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), our employees get to connect with colleagues who share their passions, lived experiences and culture. We empower our ERGs to create a sense of belonging, while supporting and driving change to make a difference in our workplace and the communities where we live and serve.
