Best Buy Fiscal Year 2022 ESG Report | 46 Diversity, Equity & Inclusion . Engagement. Enterprise Inclusion Groups: One of the best ways to nurture our inclusive culture is through our communities of belonging, which is why we created Inclusion Groups. Inclusion Groups build relationships, grow from exploration and learning, and are one of the best forms of networking, offering an opportunity for all employees to connect with others who have similar — or different — cultures, interests, perspectives and hobbies. Inclusion Groups are open to all employees, whether they identify as a member of the community represented or are taking the first steps in their allyship journeys. Membership in Inclusion Groups grew by more than 50% in FY22. Our Inclusion Groups include Employee Resource Groups, a Young Professional Development Group and Focused Involvement Networks. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) aim to elevate cultural perspectives and inspire cultural growth. ERGs also promote mentorship and career development for diverse talent. On International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, August 9, 2021, Best Buy formally introduced our Indigenous Employee Resource Group. Inspired by employee voices, the Indigenous ERG creates a safe space where Indigenous people and allies can come together to share, learn and grow through awareness, education, understanding and cultural appreciation. There are more than 476 million Indigenous peoples living in 90 countries across the world. A heritage filled with a vast diversity of cultures, traditions, languages and knowledge systems, Indigenous peoples account for 6.2% of the global population — and many are part of our Best Buy family. • Asian ERG • Black ERG • disABILITIES ERG • Indigenous ERG • Unidos ERG • Military ERG • Pride ERG • Women’s ERG
