Commitment statement
Banfield is a community of people characterized by diversity of thought, background, preferences and approach, and bonded together by our commitment to our purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS. Our pledge, achieved through the health and well-being of our associates, is to create an inclusive environment where all associates can be themselves, so that we can find value in our differences.

Banfield promotes a sense of belonging, respect and celebration of differences. This enables associates to feel supported in their passions and ability to provide quality care to our clients.

Diversity
Banfield embraces and values all human differences. We strive to enrich ourselves and our communities as we listen and learn from each other, maximizing our potential.
I really appreciate how the senior leaders in Banfield are 100% invested in making this the best place to work, and encourage you to be your true self at work. As an immigrant, that has really inspired me to share my voice and help the EI&D cause.
