Inclusion

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., we seek to inspire more human expression, connection, and celebration – for everyone. This means fostering a culture of inclusion where our team members, customers, and partners feel respected, valued, and empowered. We believe that embracing diversity, and celebrating the uniqueness of every individual, makes us a better company.

Fostering Belonging in the Workplace

Helping people express, connect, and celebrate is truly a team effort – and one that requires a highly engaged and passionate network of people.

We are committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive environment that supports the diversity of our team members across the country.

Supporting Our Diverse Communities

Our company Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) offer welcoming, encouraging communities to support diverse populations across our family of brands. These inclusive communities not only offer an opportunity to network, but they also host events and activities to engage team members across the company to help educate and inform. Current ERGs include Women & Allies, LGBTQ+ & Allies, Latinx & Allies, and African American/Black & Allies.

We celebrate the many diverse small businesses within our BloomNet network through our BloomNet Diversity Program. Currently, approximately 20% of the florists in our network identify as businesses owned by minorities, veterans, women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, or those who are disabled. Being recognized as part of this program provides BloomNet members opportunities to share their story with customers through retail and social media marketing, as well as other communications materials.

Championing Equal Access to Higher Education

We're proud to team up with Point Foundation to support and empower LGBTQ+ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential. By granting scholarships and funding to Point Scholars, we aim to make a meaningful impact on the lives of LGBTQ+ students as they pursue undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees at accredited universities, and community colleges in the United States.

Civic Engagement

Our company is committed to ensuring everyone has a voice in our democracy and inspiring our team members across the country to participate in civic life. Our team members are encouraged to take part in the election process, and we provide them with resources and paid time off to cast their ballots. We believe:

  • Every American should have a voice in our democracy
  • Voting should be safe and accessible to all
  • Elections must be fair and transparent
