From the Company
At AT&T, our purpose is to build a vibrant and sustainable business that connects ALL people to greater possibility. For over five decades, we have remained committed to building a supportive workplace where individuals of all backgrounds feel seen, heard and valued. From our frontline employees to our leadership teams, we recognize and embrace the undeniable truth that an inclusive work environment is not only the right thing to do, its also good for the business. At our core, we believe that inclusivity fuels creativity, drives innovation and strengthens our connection to the communities we serve.
AT&T fosters a culture of inclusivity across the following:
- Employees: Within our global workforce of more than 160,700 employees, we’ve established a culture where everyone can succeed. In 2022, our U.S. workforce was 31% women and 48.7% people of color.
- Communities: Connecting the unconnected in these communities and elsewhere is a priority for our business. From 2021 – 2023, we invested $2 billion to help expand access, affordability and adoption for more households and communities, helping connect 5 million people over 3 years. In 2024, we committed an additional $3 billion – scaling our total to $5B since 2021 – and set an ambitious goal to help 25 million people get and stay connected to affordable, high-speed internet access by 2030.
- Customers: We are proud to serve our customers in more than 160 languages and connect with them in culturally relevant ways by providing products, services and experiences that celebrate and recognize diversity. · Suppliers: To drive diversity and inclusion across our Supply Chain, we spent $13.2 billion last year with diverse suppliers. Of that amount, $3.1 billion was spent with Black-owned suppliers.
- Content: AT&T is proud to support stories and storytellers that bring a diversity of experiences and perspectives to life, and we are committed to fostering diversity in front of, and behind, the camera.
