More Than A Department Store

I am here writing a blog about a department store that I have always associated with older men and women and only shopped in for a prom/formal dress or a designer handbag.
This blog will be used to educate myself and those that read it about Macy's Inc. which is more than a department store.

Macy's Inc. is one of the nation's premier retailers. The company operates more than 800 Macy's department stores and furniture galleries in 45 states as well as 40 Bloomingdale stores in 12 states.
As a company they believe in being socially responsible to the people and community it does business with and are incredibly proactive. For example, in 1995 following government investigations into sweatshop conditions and incidents of child labor, Macy's Inc. adopted a stringent Vendor/Supplier Code of Conduct that sets out specific standards and requirements for any vendor doing business with the corporation. The corporate website also features the annual report and fact book which is accessible to anyone. Included in the report are the good and bad that may have happened to the company throughout the year, consumers, investors and vendors are not denied the truth about Macy's Inc.

There is so much information on the corporate website; Macy's and Bloomingdale's are more than your average department store, selling clothes, shoes or furniture. Macy's Inc. is active in the community; they are willing to sponsor events that support their philanthropic focus areas such as women's issues, arts, culture, education and HIV/AIDS.

It is nice to know that a large corporation is willing to do so much for the community. I shop and work at a store that has faced issues regarding discrimination towards its customers and employees. The only thing they have seemed to do is hire minorities and feature them in their marketing. Maybe I will consider shopping at Macy's or Bloomingdale's more often, at least I know while I'm searching through the clothes racks I'm not being judged based on my looks or size.
