United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) earned the highest
possible rating on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2021
Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and
report measuring LGBTQ workplace equality. This has also earned the
company the Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality designation for
the second consecutive year.
“This recognition highlights U. S. Steel’s continuous commitment
to inclusion and diversity so our employees can safely bring their
whole selves to work,” said U. S. Steel President and Chief
Executive Officer David B. Burritt. “Over the past year we’ve
expanded this with our 360° Safety initiative that is focused on
both physical and psychological safety. Through our culture of
caring, we continuously work to foster an environment of respect
and inclusivity that helps us advance our Best of BothSM
strategy.”
This recognition demonstrates successful actions taken by
employees across the company, including U. S. Steel’s leadership
team, to prioritize and improve workplace equality. To further
develop the company’s culture of inclusion, U. S. Steel has
enhanced its employee benefits to include domestic partner
coverage, parental leave, adoption benefits and expanded employee
resource groups, including one dedicated to LGBTQ employees and
their allies.
“From the previously unimaginable impact of the COVID-19
pandemic, to a long overdue reckoning with racial injustice, 2020
was an unprecedented year. Yet, many businesses across the nation
stepped up and continued to prioritize and champion LGBTQ
equality,” said Alphonso David, Human Rights Campaign President.
“This year has shown us that tools like the CEI are crucial in the
work to increase equity and inclusion in the workplace, but also
that companies must breathe life into these policies and practices
in real and tangible ways. Thank you to the companies that
understand protecting their LGBTQ employees and consumers from
discrimination is not just the right thing to do—but the best
business decision.”
The results of this year’s CEI showcase how 1,142 U.S.-based
companies are committed to establishing LGBTQ-friendly workplaces
and help advance inclusion in workplaces abroad, too. U. S. Steel’s
efforts in satisfying all of CEI’s criteria earned a 100-percent
ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ
Equality.
The CEI rates companies and top law firms 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
