Welcome to the Kingdom of Opportunity

With the opening of a single restaurant that only served hamburgers, milkshakes, and soda in Miami in 1954, James W. McLamore and David Edgerton began what is now Burger King Corporation. Three years later, they introduced the WHOPPER® sandwich, and the rest is history.

Staying on top of the industry, BURGER KING® was the first quick service restaurant chain to offer customer dining rooms. Drive-thru service was introduced in 1975. Today, BURGER KING® is a leader in the fast-food industry, with locations in all 50 states and 57 international countries and territories around the world.

The Burger King Corporation story is not just about food and restaurants - it is about people: the people who work with us and the people who are our consumers. We work closely with minority communities to ensure that their members continue to move forward into the economic mainstream of America.

As the second largest hamburger restaurant chain, Burger King Corporation depends on diverse talents in a wide range of areas. From directly serving our customers to helping us drive growth strategies behind the scenes, each of the more than 360,000 persons employed by Burger King Corporation and its franchisees makes a difference in building the BURGER KING® brand, which is respected around the world for quality, value, and great taste.

We at Burger King Corporation know that change is vital to any company that wants to remain successful and continue to grow.

When we started as a business nearly 50 years ago, the world was a different place. Over the years, society has become more diverse and the BURGER KING® system has, and continues to embrace such change. To that end, "we value, honor and respect differences in our employees, customers, franchisees, and suppliers." That is why The Changing Face of the Burger King Corporation describes Burger King Corporation's commitment to workplace diversity and economic empowerment.

Diversity represents three equally important things. First, it is a goal ... to create an environment where every individual has a chance to impact the organization as part of a workforce that celebrates individual differences. Second, it is a strategy ... valuing different perspectives and backgrounds to create innovation and a stronger business. Third, it is culture. A culture of diversity is one whose fabric is woven with the threads of integrity, communication and inclusiveness ... but above all else, respect.

Burger King Corporation also maintains an ever-expanding tradition of good corporate citizenship. Since our earliest days, we have supported a variety of organizations and programs geared toward promoting individual success, as well as improving the quality of life in our communities. The Changing Face of Burger King Corporation takes a look at some of the causes to which our corporate family and dedicated employees are committed.

Understanding, practicing and supporting diversity will make BURGER KING® a much stronger company because we are committed to the communities that we are privileged to serve.

At Burger King Corporation, we believe that diversity is part of our foundation. We value, honor and respect differences in our employees, customers, franchisees and suppliers. By sharing a common vision, we will create a premier company with a harmonious working environment that achieves its business and diversity objectives.

Our people strategy is straightforward. We believe that every person possesses a unique perspective and brings with him or her the potential to make important contributions to Burger King Corporation. Whether he or she is employed by our company or interacts with us as a supplier, franchisee, or community liaison — our goal is to create an environment in which the most qualified individuals can experience personal growth and help build the BURGER KING® system. We strive to establish this atmosphere for our business by adopting and enforcing a code of ethics that calls for respect and integrity, and embraces a philosophy of continuous learning.

We realize the benefits of implementing an effective diversity strategy and are committed to making inclusiveness our mainstream. We do so by strengthening our understanding of and relationships with diverse communities, and by investing in people within and beyond our organization.

We intend to make Burger King Corporation the company of choice for qualified individuals who share a passion for excellence in the quick service industry.
