Hershey’s DEI Strategy Includes Supplier Diversity & Goals

Hershey has rolled out a global DEI framework that includes commitments like using more diverse suppliers, achieving pay equity for similar roles, and setting POC leadership & employee representation targets. Their Pathways Project outlines steps to ensure candidate pools are diverse and to expand relationships with diverse-owned talent firms. They also monitor progress publicly as part of ESG/DEI reporting. It’s not just talk, but it also means customers are asked to buy into equity as part of their purchase.
