UAL Earns 4th Consecutive Perfect Score in Corporate Equality Index
OREANDA-NEWS. United Airlines earned a perfect score in the Human Rights Campaign's 2015 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) - the fourth straight year the company achieved a 100 percent rating from the well-known civil rights group. The CEI evaluates top companies based on their policies toward lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) employees.
"At United, we remain dedicated to building a workplace where all employees are valued, accepted and treated with respect," said Mike Bonds, executive vice president of human resources and labor relations at United. "We take great pride in our working together culture and commitment to LGBT equality, and we are honored to earn this coveted designation for the fourth consecutive year."
The CEI rates companies on specific policies and practices related to LGBT equality. To earn a perfect score on the Index and receive the Campaign's "Best Places to Work" distinction, companies must have fully inclusive equal employment opportunity policies, offer equal employment benefits, demonstrate LGBT competency within their organization, publicly exhibit their commitment to equality and exercise responsible citizenship.
"In order to achieve a perfect score, a company has to show a deep and serious commitment to treating their LGBT employees fairly and equally on the job," said Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign. "We also look at whether a company is speaking out in the public square to advocate for LGBT equality here in this country and around the world. United Airlines not only meets these standards, it goes above and beyond the call of duty, making commitment to equality a fundamental aspect of its corporate values."
