Airbus secures the highest rating in the 2022 Corporate Equality Index by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, demonstrating exceptional commitment to LGBTQ+ equality in the workplace.
In a significant step towards promoting inclusivity and equality in the workplace, Airbus, a global aerospace leader, has been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality in the U.S. This recognition comes from 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.
Airbus's efforts in satisfying all of the CEI's criteria earned a 100 percent ranking, placing it among over 840 major U.S. businesses that also earned top marks this year by promoting LGBTQ+-friendly workplace policies.
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the educational arm of the Human Rights Campaign, America's largest civil rights organization working for LGBTQ+ equality, publishes the CEI. Jay Brown, Senior Vice President of Programs, Research, and Training at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, stated that the CEI paved the way for countless LGBTQ+ workers to thrive and live authentically.
Airbus' commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion can be further explored on their dedicated webpage. C. Jeffrey Knittel, Chairman and CEO of Airbus Americas, stated that Airbus strives to provide an environment where employees can thrive in a culture of acceptance and inclusion.
Companies that achieve a 100% rating on the HRC CEI typically have comprehensive policies such as inclusive non-discrimination policies, equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ employees and their families, robust employee resource groups or LGBTQ+ networks, effective training programs on LGBTQ+ inclusion and bias reduction, and strong accountability and responsibility measures to ensure the enforcement of these policies and a supportive workplace culture. Airbus’s 100% ranking suggests it meets or exceeds all these criteria as evaluated by the HRC for their 2022 report.
For precise details about Airbus's policies and practices, you may want to consult Airbus’s official sustainability or corporate responsibility reports or the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 CEI report, which lists and describes employer best practices in depth.
The CEI not only recognizes companies for their efforts but also sheds light on inequity and deepens the public's understanding of LGBTQ+ issues. Airbus, with its 100% ranking, is committed to fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected, contributing to a more inclusive society.
