We are dedicated to providing a workplace environment where our diverse, purpose-driven workforce can flourish professionally and personally. Our five core values guide our strategic direction and how our team members interact with one another, our communities and our customers: (1) make service count; (2) celebrate uniqueness; (3) do the right thing; (4) find a better way; and (5) make an impact.

Our business model is predicated on sourcing our supply from nonprofit organizations in the communities where we do business. The contracts we enter into with our NPPs are typically one to three years in duration. Our relationships with our NPPs average approximately 20 years. Over the last five years, we have paid our NPPs more than $490 million for secondhand goods, providing them with unrestricted revenue to support their community-focused missions.

Our leading “people” metric across our organization is team member engagement, which is scored across various areas, including overall job satisfaction, whether the team member would recommend us as a place to work, personal commitment, being energized at work and intent to remain employed. Our team member engagement is considered best-in-class, as measured by an external consultant, comparing our results to other companies in the retail sector. Team member engagement is crucial to customer satisfaction and the satisfaction of our NPPs and their donors.

We also invest in the training, development and advancement of our team members. During fiscal 2024, more than 62% of open salaried management positions were filled by internal promotions. As of December 28, 2024, 57% of the management roles in our stores and corporate operations were held by female team members, and 61% of our U.S. workforce was represented by diverse backgrounds and ethnicities.

We strive to positively impact our team members, customers and the communities in which we live and do business. We encourage team member involvement to support local causes and our stores are empowered to support local relief efforts and community nonprofits. For example, our stores have worked with local charitable organizations to provide items or discounts to individuals impacted by natural disasters such as fires and floods, teachers for their classrooms, victims of house fires, and other community requests. In partnership with Veterans Emergency Transition Service (VETS) Canada, our stores provide move-in kits to help homeless veterans settle into new homes. Kits typically include kitchenware, bed and bath accessories
