Inclusión y Diversidad
Un espacio llena de gente que mira y actúa de la misma manera rara vez va a cambiar el mundo. Aceptando nuestras diferencias, podremos construir algo más fuerte.
Como empresa, con miles de máquinas en cafeterías y negocios alrededor del mundo, tenemos la responsabilidad y la oportunidad no sólo de mejorar los planes de diversidad, equidad e inclusión de nuestra empresa, sino también de impulsar el cambio en la industria a la que pertenecemos.

Long-term roadmap
We have recently partnered with an external agent to assist in addressing our Inclusion & Diversity practices from a cultural, societal, historical, and economic standpoint – and how that translates into processes and procedures within our organization. This work has resulted in a long-term roadmap aiming to reinforce and enhance the culture of diversity within the company, which translates in the following actions:
- Staff engagement initiatives to give our staff the opportunity to express anything they feel is relevant and their thoughts on DEI at La Marzocco
- An internal cultural audit to understand La Marzocco staff’s perception of how the company is currently doing in relation to DEI
- Formalization of the Inclusion & Diversity program, with a DEI strategy that will be put in place in collaboration with Ourania to guide us going forward.
- Policy definition and execution, to identify where and how we can best embed our DEI principles to align with our DEI strategy as well as our overall business strategy
- DEI training programs, such as unconscious bias training and intercultural communication workshops, for all staff focusing on supporting our awareness, knowledge, understanding and skills.
multicultural at heart
Diversity is in our DNA. It is written in our multicultural history between Florence and Seattle. It’s the courage of the lion we have chosen as the symbol of our company so that each member of La Marzocco’s family can express their identity and stand up for the values they believe in. Today, our organization has 9 branches with people coming from over 25 nationalities.
With a global footprint covering 5 continents and distributors in more than 120 countries around the world, the importance of being an inclusive, equitable and diverse company is crucial to properly serve our customers. We embrace our multicultural identity and believe the learning and action we take during this process will help us move forward with the combined voices and thoughts from different cultures, backgrounds and philosophies.
