About Carlson
At Carlson, we believe in business. We believe the best philanthropy is our ability to provide jobs around the world. Carlson brands employ 160,000 people in more than 150 countries. We take pride in providing services directly to consumers, corporations and government agencies.
We also believe business can be a force for good. And for 70 years, we’ve developed a strong commitment to meeting the needs of our customers, clients, employees and the communities we serve.
Carlson is a collection of global brands and one of the largest privately held companies in the United States—a powerful force in the travel, hotels, restaurant and marketing industries. All our businesses are united under one common theme: a great place where great people do great work.
Carlson is driven to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Those differences reach around the world because our culture has always embraced helping others.
