inclusion and diversity
Celebrating diversity every day and cultivating an inclusive culture.
Ensuring every person on our team feels they can bring their whole selves to work every day takes intention.
Republic Services actively fosters a culture of inclusivity to provide a safe space for employees to be their authentic selves. From steadily increasing representation of traditionally marginalized groups across all levels of the company — to judgement-free discussion forums and talent development initiatives — our people are our priority.
Our Commitment
As we continue to create an inclusive, human-centered culture, we are committed to being a place where:
People from all backgrounds can come to work and be successful.
People can perform at their best because they feel cared for and accepted for who they are.
A Workforce That Represents You
We’re proud that our high-performing front-line workforce closely represents the communities in which we live and serve. Nearly half of our total workforce is ethnically diverse (47%), with women making up 20%. Women now make up 38% of our top leadership roles – and we’re continuing to grow that number.
