LAS VEGAS, March 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DiversityInc today
announced that Las Vegas-based hotel and gaming company MGM MIRAGE
(NYSE:MGM) has been named to its seventh annual "Top 50 Companies
for Diversity" list for the second consecutive year. MGM MIRAGE is
the only gaming company to make the list. "We take tremendous pride
in seeing our diversity efforts recognized in such a prestigious
forum," said Terry Lanni, Chairman and CEO of MGM MIRAGE. "We are
committed to creating a culture that reflects diversity as a core
business value." "MGM MIRAGE has become a major player in the
diversity area," said Luke Visconti, Partner and Co-founder of
DiversityInc, a monthly business magazine and daily web site. "It
is much different from the average corporation; it is a true
champion of diversity." A total of 317 companies, a 100 percent
increase over the last three years, competed for a spot on the
highly coveted list developed by one of America's leading business
publications for diversity. The list of winners was announced today
on http://www.diversityinc.com/ and a more detailed analysis of the
companies will be featured in the June issue of DiversityInc.
According to DiversityInc, the list is determined solely from a
comprehensive survey of diversity management that measures CEO
commitment, human capital, corporate communications and supplier
diversity. For the fourth year in a row, the DiversityInc Top 50
companies, expressed as a stock index, beat the Standard &
Poor's 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the NASDAQ on a
10-, five- and one-year basis, documenting the connection between
good diversity management, excellent corporate governance and
return on equity for investors. Additionally, companies on the
DiversityInc Top 50 are remarkable in several ways: - The Top 50
hire 42 percent people of color; the U.S. work force is 29 percent
people of color* - Although Top 50 companies employ only 5 percent
of the U.S. work force, they employ 17 percent of the
college-educated people of color, compared with 12 percent people
of color in management nationwide* - One hundred percent of the Top
50 offer domestic-partner benefits for same-sex couples, compared
with 53 percent of Fortune 500 companies* - Top 50 companies spend
9.7 percent of their procurement budgets with minority- and
women-owned suppliers, compared with just two percent nationally*
