We strive to create an environment where all employees, members and suppliers feel a sense of belonging – that they are accepted, included, respected and valued for who they are. This is not only the right thing to do – it is also good for business.

What Does Inclusion Mean at Costco?
Costco’s guiding principle is doing the right thing. Every aspect of our business is guided by that principle and supported by our Code of Ethics:
- Obey the law
- Take care of our members
- Take care of our employees
- Respect our suppliers
- Reward our shareholders
As a global retailer, we have over 341,000 employees around the world. Taking care of people is a fundamental part of how we operate.
Our teams reflect the communities in which we do business. We hire employees and engage suppliers who bring different perspectives and diverse products to Costco, making us a more successful company.
For more details on Costco’s inclusion programs, gender and race/ethnicity data, see the Inclusion section of our annual Sustainability Report.
