8 | 2015 Annual Report Ross Stores, Inc.
To maximize our ability to attract, motivate and retain the best retail talent, we continue to
pursue a number of career initiatives, including the growth of our internship programs in our
buying and corporate offices. Our training and development programs provide associates
with the resources and skills to take on additional responsibilities, and enhance their potential
for long-term career growth. We also offer transitional career opportunities for former military
service members, recognizing that their experience and talent as leaders can be a good fit
for our business.
We support the communities in which we operate through local hiring and philanthropic efforts.
Our foundation supports our charitable mission to help create a brighter future for today’s
youth. In addition, we continually look for ways to improve our operations to be more efficient
and sustainable, while minimizing our impact on the environment. Our commitment to use less
energy and fewer natural resources dates back more than 20 years, and we continue to make
improvements on these initiatives.
In closing, we would like to thank all of our associates, customers, business partners and
stockholders for their continued support.
Barbara Rentler
Chief Executive Officer
Michael Balmuth
Executive Chairman
Sincerely,
