Employee Demographics

At REI, we dedicate significant time and staff resources to ensure our work environment is inclusive for all employees, co-op members and customers. This is accomplished through employee training and orientation and training new retail management supervisors how to be culturally aware.

In 2008 REI earned the highest possible rating on the Corporate Equality Index. This annual survey, developed by the Human Rights Campaign, measures how U.S. employees treat their gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees, consumers and vendors.

Within REI we look closely at employee demographics such as age, ethnicity and gender. We believe that long-term trends provide a more accurate and holistic way to track measurable progress than creating accountability standards around a quota system.
