LAS VEGAS, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MGM MIRAGE has been
named as one of the Top 40 Companies for Hispanics by Hispanic
Business magazine. The recognition follows an examination of the
company's efforts to engage Hispanics in its business operations.
According to Hispanic Business magazine, the top 400 companies on
the Fortune 500 list were invited to participate in an in-depth
analysis that examined how companies reach Hispanics in areas such
as employment, procurement, philanthropy and consumer marketing.
Additionally, executive leadership and governance practices to
support diversity were evaluated. At MGM MIRAGE, a board-level
diversity committee, chaired by Alexis Herman, the 23rd U.S.
Secretary of Labor, establishes diversity policy and monitors the
implementation of the company's diversity initiative. More than
half of the company's 70,000 employees are diverse, with Hispanics
comprising the largest minority population. The company maintains
strategic partnerships with numerous civic, social and professional
organizations that enable the creation of collaborative programs to
advance its diversity and business goals. Also, nearly 50 percent
of the company's total philanthropic contributions benefit programs
and initiatives that serve minority and underserved audiences. The
magazine also recognized MGM MIRAGE for communicating its
purchasing needs to minority vendors, contractors and suppliers.
The company has policies that require minority participation in
construction and purchasing bids. Since launching its Supplier
Diversity Program three years ago, MGM MIRAGE has increased its
expenditures with minority-, women-, and disadvantaged-business
enterprises by more than 218 percent. According to MGM MIRAGE
Senior Vice President Corporate Diversity and Community Affairs
Punam Mathur, the recognition is a significant accomplishment for
the company and its employees. "To be named among the leading
companies for diversity, in part, bolsters our effort, and makes us
feel proud. "However, we realize that our diversity journey has
just begun and that our commitment requires perseverance. We will
continue to reevaluate our systems and methods in our assimilation
of the best diversity practices and in our quest for excellence in
diversity as in all other aspects of our business," said Mathur.
