Advocacy & Allyship
We strive to create an inclusive culture of representation across all aspects of our business through partnerships, activations and awareness initiatives.
Associate Resource Groups
Associate Resource Groups (ARGs) are employee-led initiatives that foster a culture of inclusion and belonging. Sponsored by an A&F Co. executive, ARGs are led by subcommittee leaders and co-chairs that collaborate to develop activities and materials focused on allyship, community, celebration and education.
We offer five groups: BIPOC & Allies, Pride & Allies, Families & Allies, Women & Allies and ABLE & Allies. Through collaboration and action, these initiatives support our associates’ personal and collective allyship journeys, improving awareness, deepening connection and understanding.
Education & Training
A&F Co. offers our associates learning and development opportunities to expand I&D knowledge and put it to action.
These materials are delivered as round table discussions, toolkits, trainings, and workshops to support how inclusion, belonging, and diversity lives in the workplace. Topics include inclusive language, intersectionality, bias and microaggressions, gender inclusivity and allyship development in the workplace.
We are committed to the ongoing development and expansion of education and training to continually support our associates’ journeys.
Inclusive Customer Experiences
Our product teams create capsule collections in collaboration with our ARGs and impact partners, generating funding to enable change and awareness for underrepresented and under-resourced communities. Previous collections have celebrated Pride, in support of the LGBTQIA+ community, and Black History Month, in support of the Black community.
