The Best Employers for Diversity were selected based on Statista's innovative methodology, guaranteeing unbiased results and providing reliable insights. Over 60,000 U.S. employees were surveyed in companies with a minimum of 1,000 employees to identify The Best Employers for Diversity.

The evaluation was based on four different criteria:

• Direct recommendations: Employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements regarding Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Disability, LGBTQA+ & General Diversity in their current workplace. The recommendations of women, elders, and ethnic minorities were weighted higher than the non-minority groups.
• Indirect Recommendations: Participants were also given the chance to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively with regard to diversity. Only the recommendations of minority groups were considered.
• Diversity Among Top Executives/Board and Diversity Engagement Indicators were also part of the evaluation.

Based on the results of the study, Southern Glazer’s is ecstatic to be recognized on the Forbes list of Best Employers for Diversity 2022.

“Diversity and inclusion are at the forefront of all we do,” said Wayne E. Chaplin, Chief Executive Officer, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits. “We work hard to foster a workplace that is welcoming to all members of our Southern Glazer’s FAMILY.
