The BURGER KING® story is about more than just food. It's about the people we work with, and the people who are our guests.

We recognize that America does not look, work, buy, or live the same way it did when we opened our doors in 1954. These changing demographics impact our workforce, franchise community, suppliers, and customers. In order to succeed today, we must leverage the diversity of our employees, as well as the strength of our brand.

To ensure that we remain relevant and responsive to our employees, franchisees, suppliers, and the diverse communities and customers we serve, we integrate the benefits of diversity into every part of our business when we:

  • Recruit, retain, and develop qualified workers from diverse backgrounds
  • Create a work environment where people of every age, background, nationality, and culture can thrive both personally and professionally
  • Make diversity education an integral part of the work agenda for our employees and leadership
  • Value our current franchisees and embracing new qualified partners
  • Create business opportunities in our system for qualified suppliers owned by women or minorities
  • Maintain an ever-expanding tradition of good corporate citizenship with a commitment to the communities in which we do business

    • We believe our philosophy propels us toward an increase in productivity, competitiveness, and relevance in the marketplace, while setting an example to society, and continuing our founders' tradition of providing top-quality products and service to our guests at a great value.
