Gannett earns perfect score on Human Rights
Campaign Foundation’s annual assessment of LGBTQ+ workplace
equality for fifth consecutive year
Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI) today announced the company
received a perfect score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation’s 2022 Corporate Equality Index (HRC CEI), the nation’s
foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate
policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality.
Gannett joins the ranks of more than 840 major U.S. businesses that
also earned top marks this year.
“It’s a great honor to receive this recognition for the fifth
consecutive year,” said Gannett CEO Mike Reed. “Inclusion,
Diversity and Equity are core foundational pillars at Gannett and
this achievement recognizes our strong commitment to advancing an
inclusive culture through our policies and actions.”
“We are very proud to receive a perfect score on the Human
Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index again this year," said
Samantha Howland, Gannett’s Chief People Officer. “The key to any
company’s success is its employees and we are committed to further
building and empowering an inclusive workforce that fully reflects
all of the communities we serve.”
The results of the 2022 Corporate Equality Index showcase 1,271
U.S.-based companies promoting LGBTQ+-friendly workplace policies
and 56% of CEI-rated companies with global operations are helping
advance the cause of LGBTQ+ inclusion in workplaces abroad.
Gannett’s efforts in satisfying all the HRC CEI’s criteria earned
the Company a 100% ranking and the designation as one of the Best
Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality.
“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.”
The Corporate Equality Index rates employers providing these
crucial protections to over 20 million U.S. workers and an
additional 18 million abroad. 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
businesses.
The Corporate Equality Index rates companies on detailed
criteria focused on 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.
