Scores 100 Percent Rating on 2014 Corporate
Equality Index for LGBT practices
For the sixth year running, Unilever has been named one of the
“Best Places to Work” by Human Rights Campaign, achieving a perfect
score of 100 percent on the 2014 Corporate Equality Index (“CEI.”)
The CEI is used as a measure to rank U.S. companies on their
treatment of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender)
employees, consumers and investors.
The 2014 CEI rated 934 businesses in the report, which evaluates
LGBT-related policies and practices including non-discrimination
workplace protections, domestic partner benefits,
transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs,
and public engagement with the LGBT community.
“We are proud and honored for Unilever to once again be named as
a Best Place to Work for LGBT employees and achieve a 100 percent
score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index for
the sixth year in a row,” said Sumeet Salwan, Unilever’s Senior
Vice President, Human Resources. “At Unilever, we firmly believe
that diversity, agile working and performance are all inherently
connected. To build a high performing organization and meet our
growth ambitions, we need to foster an inclusive environment where
our diverse employees can bring all of themselves to work every
day. Building flexibility and inclusion drives this output-oriented
culture for us.”
Unilever supports the LGBT community at work through its PRIDE
Network. PRIDE (People Respecting Individuality, Diversity and
Equality) is an LGBT Diversity Network open to all Unilever
employees that share a common goal of endorsing respect,
individuality, diversity, and equality throughout the
organization.
“From the great work of our PRIDE business resource group, to
the activism of Ben & Jerry’s to the benefits available for
domestic partners and spouses, this recognition demonstrates our
commitment to our values of equality and celebrating differences
across gender, ethnicity, LGBT, generations and different working
styles,” Salwan added.
Unilever joins the ranks of 303 major U.S. businesses which also
earned top marks this year. For more information on the 2014
