01 Dezembro 2023 - 11:05AM
Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of
ingredient solutions to the food and beverage industry, today
announced its receipt of the Equality 100 Award: Leader in LGBTQ+
Workplace Inclusion by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's
2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), designating it as a top
scorer. The Company joins the ranks of 545 major U.S. businesses
that earned top marks this year.
"We are proud and honored to be named an Equality 100 Award
recipient and included on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate
Equality Index for 2023-2024," said Nancy Wolfe, senior vice
president and chief human resources officer at Ingredion. "At
Ingredion, we are guided by our values, which at the core involve
cultivating an inclusive and diverse work environment that
celebrates and respects each employee. This acknowledgment
reaffirms our dedication to upholding the principles of dignity and
respect for all our employees."
"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. "Our goal at the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation is to work in a spirit of partnership with companies,
providing educational resources and leading benchmarking, and
collaborating on ways for businesses to support the LGBTQ+
community at a time when we face unprecedented legislative attacks,
heightened anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and physical violence. The CEI is
an ever-evolving tool – a blueprint that companies can use to show
up more effectively in supporting their LGBTQ+ employees and their
families."
The 2023-2024 CEI results showcase how U.S.-based companies are
promoting LGBTQ+ friendly workplace policies in the U.S. and
abroad. The 2023-2024 CEI consists of 1,384 participants up from
319 in 2002, the index's first year. Further demonstrating the
tremendous trajectory of the CEI, a record-breaking 1,340
businesses have non-discrimination protections specific to gender
identity, up from just 17 in 2002. The CEI rates employers
providing these crucial protections to over 20 million U.S. workers
and an additional 18 million outside of the U.S.
Companies rated in the CEI include Fortune magazine's 500
largest publicly traded businesses, American Lawyer magazine's top
200 revenue-grossing law firms (AmLaw 200), and hundreds of
publicly and privately held mid- to large-sized companies.
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.
