This February, in collaboration with our Black@ Employee Resource Group, we continue to acknowledge and reflect on the significance of Black history while embracing and embodying this year’s theme of Black Resistance.
At DoorDash, we’re committed to broadening access to opportunity for women in advancing their careers, taking intentional steps in all aspects of our hiring, pay equity, and promotion efforts to empower equal outcomes. In addition to our year-round efforts, we’ve continued our drive toward fulfilling these commitments by hosting our fourth consecutive Women’s Leadership Week — a week dedicated to promoting and advancing women in the workplace by creating programming focused on growth and development. Check out the recap below.
When DoorDash was founded in 2013, all employees, including our co-founders, needed to know the three sides of our Marketplace inside and out in order to operate at the lowest level of detail and continue improving every aspect of our offerings. Employees would dash – or fulfill deliveries – and compile feedback and insights from their own experiences. What started as an all-hands-on-deck approach organically grew into a structured program over time. By 2015, we formalized this feedback model into WeDash.
As part of our efforts to create a workplace that engages people of all backgrounds while fostering an environment of diversity, equity, and inclusion, our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) play a vital role in building and driving the culture that our people experience. Because of their significance in shaping what life at DoorDash is like, we are proud to announce that leadership positions across our eight official ERGs — Women, Pride, Parents, AAPI (Asian, Asian American, Pacific Islander), Black, Unidos, Indigenous, and Veterans — will now receive compensation for their time and invaluable contributions.
DoorDash launched its first-ever custom created Spanish & English multi-platform marketing campaign titled ‘Antojo’ aimed at authentically connecting with the Latino community. Learn more about the campaign.
Everything we do at DoorDash is in the spirit of bringing communities together, one doorstep at a time. From broadening food access via Project DASH to our work supporting merchants — including the $1 million Restaurant Disaster Relief Fund and our Main Street Strong Accelerator program — these efforts help tackle the problems faced in our local communities. In recognition of this work, we’re proud to share that DoorDash was recently named one of the TIME100 Most Influential Companies of 2022.
DoorDash was founded nine years ago with a mission to grow and empower local economies. Today, we are proud to share DoorDash’s first ever ESG Report, providing a view into our impact and the programs we have established to support the merchants, Dashers, consumers, employees, and organizations who make DoorDash what it is. To quote DoorDash Co-Founder and CEO Tony Xu: “Our mission is ambitious and the opportunity ahead is vast. We hope in these pages that you can take the measure of how hard we are working to get there.” Read a summary and access the full report. #WeAreDoorDash
