Kimco Realty® (NYSE: KIM), North America’s largest publicly
traded owner and operator of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping
centers, and a growing portfolio of mixed-use assets, proudly
announces it received the top score of 100 on the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation’s 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index (“CEI”).
The CEI is the nations’ foremost benchmarking survey and report
measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+
workplace equality. Kimco’s efforts in satisfying the CEI’s
criteria earned a score of 100 and the designation as a recipient
of the Equality 100 Award: Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace
Inclusion.
“We are, once again, thrilled to be recognized by the Human
Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. This designation speaks
volumes about our highly inclusive culture, demonstrated through
our ever-evolving workplace policies and programs designed to
ensure our associates feel valued and are empowered to bring their
authentic selves to work. At Kimco, we are committed to promoting
diversity, equality and inclusivity in our workplace, our industry
and the communities in which we operate – a commitment that
naturally encompasses supporting LGBTQ+ equality.” said Kimco CEO
Conor Flynn.
Kimco’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (“DEI”) governance
framework fosters employee engagement and input via our volunteer,
employee-driven, DEI Council. This council helps to establish
priorities and guide strategy to achieve the company’s DEI
objectives, addressing topics including recruiting, retention,
vendor/supply chain diversity, community engagement, and inclusive
employee engagement. Under the auspices of the DEI Council, Kimco
redefined “family” such that all employee benefits and programs are
inclusive of LGBTQ+. In 2023, Kimco launched several employee
resource groups, which are voluntary employee-organized communities
designed to cultivate connection among employees with shared
interests, characteristics, or backgrounds, including a group
focused specifically on LGBTQ+ topics.
Kimco was also named as one of the 2023 Best Places to Work in
Real Estate by Great Place to Work®, in addition to receiving the
Great Place to Work recognition for the sixth consecutive year.
“For well over two decades, businesses have played an important
role in furthering LGBTQ+ equality by centering employee needs and
voices when it comes to workplace inclusion. While there is much
more work to be done, year-over-year growth in CEI participation is
evidence of a business community that recognizes the responsibility
and value in upholding equity and inclusion,” said RaShawn
“Shawnie” Hawkins, Human Rights Campaign Senior Director of
Workplace Equality.
The results of the 2023-2024 CEI showcase how U.S.-based
companies are promoting LGBTQ+ friendly workplace policies. The CEI
rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four central
pillars:
- Non-discrimination policies across business entities;
- Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families;
- Supporting an inclusive culture; and,
- Corporate social responsibility.
