Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At New Horizons Food Solutions (NHFS), we are deeply committed to fostering a workplace environment rooted in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Our dedication to DEI is reflected across three foundational pillars: Workforce, Marketplace, and Community — each aligned with our mission to serve people with integrity and respect.
“At New Horizons Baking Company, we are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. We create a culture that celebrates and embraces the unique perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds of all our employees, partners, and communities.”
Workforce
We believe a diverse and inclusive workforce strengthens everything we do. Partnering with organizations like PathStone, Jewish Family Services, Social Services for the Arab Community (SSFAC), and JRS, we provide tailored professional development opportunities to individuals from various backgrounds.
Our workforce statistics demonstrate our commitment to diversity and inclusion, with a significant representation of women, minority communities, and individuals from historically underrepresented groups. We prioritize flexibility and family time by offering alternative work schedules and actively recruiting from diverse backgrounds, including seniors, military personnel, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and interns.
Marketplace
Promoting diversity and inclusion in our marketplace is central to who we are. We are dedicated to supporting Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs), with a focused commitment to increasing our MBE spend year over year. By actively engaging with diverse suppliers and partners, we aim to create opportunities for underrepresented businesses and foster an inclusive marketplace.
