No matter what you bring to the potluck, there's a seat at the table for you.
Instacart welcomes you just as you are-we celebrate your unique paths and experiences that have brought you to our table.
First things first, diversity, equity and belonging isn't something we view as "checking the box." We know that for Instacart to be a successful, long-lasting company, we have to approach it the same way we do any business goal: intentionally and with the resources it requires.
This is a journey for us-we have work to do and we are not shying away from the conversations and actions that will get us there.
"I believe that everyone has something truly unique to bring to the table. I also believe that teams do their best work when they’re made up of a diverse group of people who respect each other in their unicity and shine a spotlight on what makes every person special. The fact is that diverse teams have an edge — the diversity of lived experiences simply makes for better decision-making. At Instacart, we want to ensure the people building and making decisions about our products and services are representative of the diverse communities we serve."

Our Approach
For us, Diversity, Equity and Belonging encompasses everything from increasing representation, focusing on inclusion, career development and opportunities, to social impact initiatives uplifting our communities, and ensuring we're designing products that are accessible to everyone. We prioritize a race, ethnicity and gender equity-focused approach to achieve equality in all of our systems and processes.
Workforce Equity
Drive equitable outcomes for employees throughout their career at Instacart.
Workplace Belonging
Optimize for inclusion and belonging. No one should have to code switch at work.
Responsible Citizenship
Evolve what we are known for outside our four walls. From our corporate reputation to our commitment to fighting hunger-because food insecurity is a social justice issue.
Product Inclusion
Design accessible products for everyone, especially our most marginalized users, while uplifting brands from historically underrepresented entrepreneurs.
We are embracing being comfortable in the uncomfortable, so we can grow together.
These are the guidelines for how we interact, helping to shape an environment that creates space for growth where we don't shy away from making mistakes or having uncomfortable conversations:
Authenticity
Be you. Show up as you are and embrace vulnerability.
Intersectionality
Aim to understand. Learning and sharing lived experiences is critical to ensure all historically marginalized voices are seen and heard.
Intentionality
Be deliberate. Create space for voices who may have been historically overlooked.
Our Communities
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) serve as a catalyst to drive connection and create empowering spaces for the many communities at Instacart. Our ERGs help create a more inclusive culture and business, and amplify the voices of employees with shared identities and experiences across Instacart.
