A Culture of Inclusion

At Bath & Body Works, we draw inspiration from the beauty that comes from inclusion. It's not just a sentiment to us; it's about fostering an environment where our associates feel empowered to bring their authentic selves to work every day, where collaboration flourishes and where our customers feel welcomed and valued. 

From the very beginning, we've embraced diversity and nurtured a culture of inclusion because we believe that everyone belongs. This commitment is deeply ingrained in our core values and guides everything we do. We take pride in our endless innovation of products and exceptional fragrances, which are crafted through collaboration and by valuing each other's unique perspectives. 

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Make Us Stronger

We embrace diversity across our business, including race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability and veteran status, and strive to ensure everyone is included and has equitable access and opportunity.
