Inclusion & Diversity
At Tyson Foods, we embrace the diversity of our team members, customers, stakeholders and consumers – their unique backgrounds, experience, thoughts and talents.
Everyone is valued and appreciated for their distinct contributions to the growth and sustainability of our business.
Tom Hayes, President and CEO of Tyson Foods, Inc., has joined CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™, a group of more than 350 CEOs who have committed themselves and the companies they lead to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
In addition, Tyson Foods was recognized in 2016 and 2017 as a BEST PLACE TO WORK FOR LGBT EQUALITY by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index.
Team Member Inclusion & Diversity
Each team member brings different experiences, skills and talents to the Tyson Foods family. These differences lead to more innovation, better supplier and customer relationships, and a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
A competitive advantage starts with diverse people. Every role is valuable in contributing to Tyson Foods' purpose of making great food and making a difference. Our inclusion & diversity efforts focus on ensuring that we recruit, develop, and retain a diverse group of team members, and ensure that all team members have an opportunity to grow and develop personally and professionally.

Our supply partners add value every day
A diverse group of supply partners makes good business sense. Working with minority-owned, veteran and service-disabled veteran owned, women-owned, and Small Business Association (SBA) certified small businesses, is critical to helping us meet our high standards for quality products. Ultimately, it also creates more value for our shareholders.
