Aramark ranked among the top 10 companies in the tri-state area in the following areas:

“People are the cornerstone of everything we do. We are proud of our long-standing commitment to enabling the equity and well-being of everyone we connect with," said Jami Leveen, Vice President of Community Partnerships at Aramark. “My sincerest thanks to our leadership team for cultivating a culture of service, and to the incredible Aramark volunteers who continue to generate positive outcomes for the people and the planet, year-round. Without them, this recognition from The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia wouldn’t be possible.”
