RICHMOND, Virginia (November 10, 2015) - CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX), the nation's largest retailer ofused cars announces that it has been recognized by Great Place to Work® and Fortune as one of the 50 Best Workplaces for Diversity as well as one of the 10 best workplaces for African Americans and Hispanics.

'Diversity is one of our core values,' said Kim Ross, AVP, HR services and diversity. 'We ensure every associate, applicant, customer, vendor and shareholder is treated equitably.'

CarMax and the 49 other winning companies were selected based on evaluations by over 128,000 women and 69,000 minorities on Great Place to Work's Trust Index© employee survey. Employees considered everything from how comfortable they feel being themselves; the fairness of promotions; the degree of honest connection with coworkers; their access to senior leadership; who receives information and professional development and who doesn't.

Scores also take into account how well-represented women and minorities are within the workforce, management and executive positions; and how positively they experience their workplace on an index of factors. From this superset of companies, Great Place to Work® also identified the top 10 companies for African-Americans, Hispanics/Latinos and Asian-identified employees, based on these employees' reports of their workplace experiences.

'The companies on this list are leaders who recognize the strategic importance of creating workplaces that attract and support the best talent in their industries,' says Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work® United States. 'The best companies are focused on creating great workplaces for all.'
