“Aramark is honored to once again be recognized by the Human
Rights Campaign for achieving a score of 100 on the Corporate
Equality Index,” said Fenimore Fisher, Vice President of Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at Aramark. “We are proud of the
options that now exists for our LGBTQ+ employees to self-identify.
We maintain our commitment to create equity by increasing access to
opportunities for all our employees, inclusive of their
sexual/romantic orientation and gender identity. We are enabling a
culture of inclusion, where everyone can feel safe to bring their
whole self to work.”
“For well over two decades, businesses have played an important
role in furthering LGBTQ+ equality by centering employee needs and
voices when it comes to workplace inclusion,” said RaShawn
“Shawnie” Hawkins, Human Rights Campaign Sr Director of Workplace
Equality. “While there is much more work to be done, year-over-year
growth in CEI participation is evidence of a business community
that recognizes the responsibility and value in upholding equity
and inclusion.”
The results of the 2023-2024 CEI showcase how U.S.-based
companies are promoting LGBTQ+ friendly workplace policies in the
U.S. and abroad. The first year of the CEI included 319
participants, and the 2023-2024 CEI now includes 1,384
participants; further demonstrating the tremendous trajectory of
the CEI, a record-breaking 1,340 businesses have non-discrimination
protections specific to gender identity, up from just 17 in 2002.
These critical non-discrimination protections cover 21 million
employees in the U.S. and around the globe. Aramark’s efforts in
satisfying all the CEI’s criteria earned a score of 100 and the
designation as recipient of the Equality 100 Award: Leader in
LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion.
Aramark’s commitment to people is a core part of the company’s
environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) platform, Be
Well. Do Well., focused on positively impacting people and the
planet. Aramark’s DEI-focused workplace goal is to create a culture
of community and inclusion through the work and continued global
expansion of its employee resource groups and allyship network,
capability building, and meaningful management engagement with
employees.
In June, Aramark launched its first campaign to encourage all
employees to voluntarily self-identify internally. The campaign
goals included helping the company better understand its LGBTQ+
population, inform DEI strategy and continue to measure veterans
and employees with disabilities in the company’s workforce. Aramark
also continues to highlight its “Pronouns Matter” training, to
educate employees on inclusive language and its importance in
gender identity and expression. To date, more than 2,500 employees
have utilized the resources or updated their pronouns in
e-signature and business cards. These achievements support the work
done year-round by Aramark Pride, the company’s LGBTQ+ employee
resource group, that aims to create a more supportive, inclusive,
and equitable space for employees, clients, customers, colleagues,
friends, and family members.
Aramark’s diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts have also
been recognized by many notable organizations including BLACK
ENTERPRISE, CAREERS & the disABLED Magazine, the Civic 50, the
Disability Equality Index, Fair360 (formerly known as
DiversityInc), FORTUNE, and Newsweek.
