VF Corporation earns 100 on the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation’s annual assessment of LGBTQ+ workplace
equality
VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC), a global leader in branded lifestyle
apparel, footwear and accessories, has received a top score of 100
on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 Corporate Equality
Index (CEI), the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report
measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+
workplace equality. VF joins the ranks of over 840 major U.S.
businesses that also earned top marks this year.
“VF is incredibly proud to be recognized by Human Rights
Campaign Foundation as one of the best places to work for LGBTQ+
equality with a perfect score of 100 percent,” said Lauren Guthrie,
Vice President, Global Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Action. “At
VF, we strive to create and sustain an enabling environment where
all our associates, regardless of sexual orientation or gender
identity, can feel supported, safe and celebrated at work. To our
LGBTQ+ colleagues and their allies, we celebrate this honor with
you and we stand with you every day.”
“When the Human Rights Campaign Foundation created the Corporate
Equality Index 20 years ago, we dreamed that LGBTQ+ workers—from
the factory floor to corporate headquarters, in big cities and
small towns—could have access to the policies and benefits needed
to thrive and live life authentically,” said Jay Brown, Human
Rights Campaign Senior Vice President of Programs, Research and
Training. “We are proud that the Corporate Equality Index paved the
way to that reality for countless LGBTQ+ workers in America and
abroad. But there is still more to do, which is why we are raising
the bar yet again to create more equitable workplaces and a better
tomorrow for LGBTQ+ workers everywhere. Congratulations to VF
Corporation for achieving the title of ‘best places to work for
LGBTQ+ equality’ and working to advance inclusion in the
workplace.”
The results of the 2022 CEI showcase how 1,271 U.S.-based
companies are not only promoting LGBTQ+-friendly workplace policies
in the U.S., but also for the 56% of CEI-rated companies with
global operations who are helping advance the cause of LGBTQ+
inclusion in workplaces abroad. VF’s efforts in satisfying all of
the CEI’s criteria earned a 100 percent ranking and the designation
as one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality.
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.
