Culture of inclusion
A culture of inclusion makes for a great place to work and drives business success. Here at Avnet, inclusiveness is one of our Core Values, and we view it as central to creating a sense of belonging for our employee community. Strong relationships are a key part of Avnet’s global culture and are reflected in our Listen & Learn events and Employee Resource Groups. We are a global company with operations in many countries, and we respect and value the local cultures that come together under the Avnet umbrella to form the greater organization.

“To make Avnet as strong and versatile as it can be, we are committed to sharing values of diversity and inclusion to achieve and sustain excellence in every aspect of our business. Our belief is that we can best promote excellence by attracting, engaging, developing, rewarding and retaining a diverse group of employees and stakeholders by creating a climate of respect that is supportive of their success and providing opportunity and access to thrive.”
Ken Arnold
Chief People Officer
“Avnet understands that when employees feel supported and included in the workplace, they bring their best selves to the job and are able to make better contributions to the business. From a definition standpoint, diversity is the ‘what’, inclusion is the ‘how’ and equity is about fairness. Yes, we want a workplace with people from all backgrounds and walks of life, but even more importantly, we aspire to be an organization where everyone feels seen, has equal access to resources and opportunities, knows that their inputs are heard and contributions are truly valued.”
