Commitment to diversity

At ACT, we are committed to making our team members' and customers' lives a little easier every day. We are constantly evolving to meet their needs, create inclusive and safe workplaces for our people, minimize our impact on the environment and be a trusted neighbor in the communities we serve. We strive to be an inclusive and attractive employer, providing our people with a work environment where they feel safe, respected, and able to develop their full potential.

In FY20, our CEO, Brian Hannasch, formalized our commitment to diversity by signing the CEO Action Pledge, a worldwide initiative rallying the business community to take measurable action in advancing diversity and inclusion in the workplace. By attracting, retaining, and developing talented, diverse professionals—including minorities, individuals with disabilities, LGBTQ+, and veterans, among others–allows our inclusive culture to bring various perspectives, driving innovation and increasing better decisions that move the business forward and strengthen our growth.

Vision for the Future

Our worldwide community of people is at the heart of our business. Their commitment, safety, motivation, and talent have made us a successful convenience store operator. Promoting diversity and inclusion is a key component of our culture of growing together and critical to being a preferred choice for our diverse customer base. By allowing our people to bring their full, authentic selves to work, we have accomplished great things with respect to inclusivity. In 2021 and beyond, we continue to leverage our people's voice and continue to work as One Team, In This Together, to make a meaningful impact across our global network.
