Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Veritiv — 2026 DEI Review
Short answer: Veritiv publicly describes formal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programming including employee resource groups (ERGs), mentorship, and executive sponsorship, and it publishes an Equal Employment Opportunity / Affirmative Action (EEO/AA) statement. Independent employer-review sites show mixed employee sentiment. Readers seeking detailed demographic metrics should note that comprehensive representation and outcome data are not disclosed in the supplied public materials.
Veritiv: What the public record shows about DEI programs
Veritiv states an organizational focus on creating a workplace that reflects the communities where it operates and lists “Diversity and Inclusion” among its corporate values (Veritiv careers content). The company’s careers site and CSR materials reference DEI programming such as Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), mentorship opportunities, and leadership activities related to inclusion (Veritiv careers and CSR summaries).
Executive sponsorship for DEI is documented in company announcements: Susan Salyer was promoted with responsibilities that include DEI-related leadership and executive sponsorship for employee network activities (company press/announcements cited in supplied evidence). Veritiv also references ERGs such as Women at Veritiv and a Veterans ERG in publicly available workforce and careers materials.
For convenience, primary company-related pages referenced in this review include the Veritiv profile and resources on the platform where this review is published: Veritiv profile, Veritiv careers page, and the Veritiv workforce report.
Veritiv: Independent recognition and employee engagement metrics
Veritiv appears on a variety of third-party employer-review and recognition platforms. The supplied evidence included a public company page on a recognition site and employer-review aggregators; however, the documents provided for this review did not include independent verification of any third-party certifications from those recognition programs. Consequently, this review does not assert active certification by a specific recognition program based only on the presence of a public company listing.
External employee-review platforms provide additional signals about day-to-day experience: Glassdoor lists an aggregate company rating and reports the proportion of reviewers who would recommend the company to a friend, and Indeed shows a range of reviewer ratings. These independent reviews indicate variability in individual experiences without negating the existence of formal DEI programs that Veritiv documents publicly.
What Veritiv publishes on career support and development
Veritiv’s careers content lists benefits and programs that can support workforce inclusion, including language about career development opportunities, flexible work, mentorship, and ERG-driven development elements that support career growth (Veritiv careers page). The company advertises roles across functions such as sales, warehouse, finance, and logistics and lists many U.S. locations and North American operations in its recruiting materials.
Relevant internal pages for readers who want company-published recruiting or workforce resources include the Veritiv careers page and the Veritiv workforce report (links above).
Limitations in the public record
- Specific demographic breakdowns (race/ethnicity, gender by level, disability status, LGBTQ+ representation, veteran status proportions) are not publicly disclosed in the materials supplied for this review. No detailed workforce demographic tables or population-by-level metrics were located in the provided evidence.
- Public metrics on pay equity audits or concrete DEI outcome measures (for example, promotion rates by demographic group or pay-equity remediation outcomes) were not included in the supplied evidence and therefore are not available for assessment in this report.
- The supplied materials included third-party listings and employer-review summaries, but did not include independent, auditable certification documentation or internal demographic datasets that would support deeper outcome analysis.
Recommended next steps for readers seeking more granular data:
- Request Veritiv’s most recent DEI or workforce demographic report directly from the company, specifying the types of breakdowns needed (e.g., representation by level and function, promotion/attrition rates by demographic group, pay-equity audit summaries).
- Ask for documentation of any third-party recognition or certification, including the certifying organization, certification criteria, and the verification source used by the company.
- Where possible, request copies of anonymized or aggregated datasets used for internal DEI monitoring so that external reviewers can evaluate trends while preserving employee privacy.
Bottom line
Publicly available Veritiv materials document the presence of DEI-related programs (ERGs, mentorship, and executive sponsorship) and an EEO/AA statement, and the company is listed on multiple third-party employer-review and recognition sites. The supplied evidence does not include detailed demographic representation metrics or audited pay-equity outcomes. Independent reviewer sites show mixed employee sentiment, which is common across many employers and highlights the difference between formal programs and individual workplace experiences.
Those seeking to evaluate DEI outcomes at Veritiv should obtain the company’s internal demographic reports or formal DEI disclosures, and request verification of any third-party certifications directly from the certifying organizations if certification status is important to the assessment.
