An AutoZoner Always... Embraces Diversity
"I often say while we sell auto parts, at our core, we’re really in the people business. To that end, I’m awe-inspired by our unique and powerful people-centric culture and what we do together every day to impact the lives of people. At AutoZone, every AutoZoner is a part of our AutoZone family and embracing diversity is who we are."
- Philip Daniele, President and CEO, AutoZone Inc.
Since 2016, ethnic diversity at our leadership levels (from Director to our Board) has improved at each level by as much as 20%:
AutoZone has laid a foundation of support that includes reliable and accessible reporting, a cross-functional Diversity Council, a DEI Steering Committee and the following business resource groups (BRGs): AZ WIN, AutoZone’s Women’s Initiative., AZ BE BOLD, Black Excellence Building Opportunities for Leadership Development, AZ ¡HOLA!, Hispanic Organization for Leadership at AutoZone; AZ NextGen, AutoZone’s Next Generation of Leaders, AZ VALOR, Veterans and Active Leadership Organization for Recruitment and Retention; and AZ PRIDE+, People Recognizing Individuality, Diversity and Equity.
LENDING A HELPING HAND

AutoZoners are always helping fellow AutoZoners. In our stores, DCs and SSCs, this can mean supporting a team member on a project or lending another set of hands to get a customer on their way. Through the AutoZoner Assistance Fund (AAF), AutoZoners help other AutoZoners facing personal challenges by donating their own money. AAF is an independent, non-profit organization primarily funded by AutoZone and AutoZoners that helps cover the cost of the unexpected. The organization is independently managed by a cross-functional board of AutoZoners who volunteer their time.
Since 2000, the AAF has provided more than $13.3MM in financial assistance to AutoZoners. In FY2023, with contributions from AutoZoners and AutoZone, AAF raised nearly $6.8MM, and with these funds, AAF was able to support over 1,800 AutoZoners and their families with over $1.6MM of direct support to AutoZoners.
