Eine Botschaft an unsere Foot Locker Community von CEO Richard Johnson
 

We stand resolute in our commitment to fight racial inequality and injustice. This commitment extends beyond words. It is part of our culture and the way we operate as an inclusive and diverse organization. We recognize that Black Culture plays a pivotal role in shaping Sneaker Culture – the foundation of our business at Foot Locker, Inc. We believe we have an obligation to add our voice and actions to drive meaningful and lasting change across our company and within the communities we serve.

Heute geben wir bekannt, dass Foot Locker, Inc. in den nächsten fünf Jahren 200 Millionen US-Dollar bereitstellen wird, um das Leben unserer Mitarbeiter und unserer Kunden aus der Schwarzen Community durch wirtschaftliche Entwicklung und Bildung zu verbessern. Dieses Engagement betrifft viele Bereiche unseres Unternehmens und wird sich in vielerlei Hinsicht manifestieren, wobei die Pläne so angelegt sind, dass sie auch weit nach dem Zeitraum von fünf Jahren noch Wirkung zeigen werden. Unsere Bemühungen umfassen:

Economic Development​

  • Invest in Black-owned businesses within youth culture  
  • Purchase more products from Black-owned brands 
  • Donate to organizations creating economic development and advancement opportunities for minorities – many of which will be based in the communities we serve 
  • Increase marketing spend with Black-owned companies, entrepreneurs, creators and collaborators   
  • Diversifikation bei globalen Zulieferern und Investitionen in Niederlassungen zugunsten von Unternehmen im Besitz von Schwarzen

Bildung

  • Extend our existing Foot Locker Scholar Athletes program and other partnerships to benefit additional Black students 
  • Fund training for Black Creatives at Pensole Footwear Design Academy  
  • Implement internship, mentorship, and community outreach programs for Black team members and communities 
  • Invest in relevant education programs for Black team members with our Black Employee Resource Group called B.U.I.L.D
  • Direct a portion of the funding from Foot Locker Foundation’s annual “On Our Feet” gala to beneficiaries supporting the Black community, including building upon our long-standing partnership with UNCF

We will hold ourselves accountable by pledging our transparency and by publishing an annual report card on our commitment and progress. 

We stand with those who are working towards eliminating the deep racial inequities that exist today. We are committed to leveraging our platform to mobilize, unite, empower, and inspire our team members and customers across the globe.

Es ist an der Zeit, etwas zu tun.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Richard Johnson 
Chairman & CEO 
Foot Locker, Inc.
