World's largest cruise company honored for
fourth consecutive year on Forbes' annual ranking of Best Employers
for Diversity, representing the top 2% of U.S. companies with over
1,000 employees
MIAMI, May 2, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL;NYSE:
CUK), the world's largest cruise company, today announced it was
named for the fourth consecutive year as one of the Best Employers
for Diversity for 2022 by Forbes, a leading source of business news
worldwide.
Presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., a leading statistics
portal and industry ranking provider, the prestigious annual
listing honors the top 500 U.S. employers for diversity from over
20 major industries, including travel and leisure. In Forbes'
fourth annual survey, Carnival Corporation – whose nine popular
cruise line brands include Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America
Line, Princess Cruises and Seabourn in the U.S. along with AIDA
Cruises, Cunard, Costa Cruises, P&O Cruises UK and P&O
Cruises Australia –was ranked among the top
15 employers in travel and leisure. The full list of Best
Employers for Diversity for 2022 is available on the Forbes
website.
"At Carnival Corporation, diversity of thinking is a
business imperative and we fully embrace the importance of
fostering a diverse workforce at all levels, driving innovation and
an inclusive and supportive work environment for all of our
colleagues," said Roger Frizzell,
chief communications officer for Carnival Corporation. "We are
honored to again be recognized by Forbes as a top employer for
diversity in the U.S., as it underscores our highest responsibility
and top priority, which is compliance, environmental protection and
the health, safety and well-being of our guests, the people in the
communities we visit, and our shipboard and shoreside
personnel."
The Forbes Best Employers for Diversity list was determined
through an independent survey of over 60,000 U.S. workers at
companies with at least 1,000 employees in their U.S. operations.
Participants were asked to anonymously give their opinions on a
series of statements regarding age, gender, ethnicity, disability,
LGBTQIA+ and general diversity in their current workplace.
Respondents of minority groups were also given the chance to
evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand
out either positively or negatively with regard to diversity. Based
on these direct and indirect employee recommendations, and an
evaluation of company diversity among top executives and the board,
along with diversity engagement indicators, Forbes recognized only
the top 500 companies out of thousands of organizations,
representing the top 2% of all U.S. companies with over 1,000
employees.
This recognition as a top employer for diversity in the U.S.
builds on a series of recognitions Carnival Corporation has earned
for its companywide operations and dedication to diversity, equity
and inclusion. Most recently, Carnival Corporation was
honored as one of the Best Companies for Latinos by Latino Leaders
Magazine for 2022 and earned a perfect score on the Human
Rights Campaign Foundation's 2022 Corporate Equality Index,
designating the company as a Best Place to Work for
LGBTQ+ Equality for the sixth consecutive year.
The company was also recognized by Forbes as one of the World's
Best Employers and one of the World's Top Female-Friendly Companies
in 2021, in addition to being named a Glassdoor Employees' Choice
Award Winner honoring the best 100 U.S. places to work. Also in
2021, Carnival Corporation was named as one of America's Most
Responsible Companies for its commitment to corporate social
responsibility leadership by Newsweek.
