CBRE Scores 100% on Human Rights Campaign
Foundation’s Annual Scorecard on LGBT Workplace Equality
CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBG) announced that it received a perfect
score of 100 percent on the 2017 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a
national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and
practices related to LGBT workplace equality that is administered
by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. With its high score, CBRE
is recognized as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality. This marks
CBRE’s fourth consecutive year of achieving a perfect score, and
the company continues to pave the way for increased diversity
across the entire commercial real estate industry.
"We are grateful that our people are committed to upholding our
values while creating outstanding outcomes for our clients—together
our efforts underscore the value of an inclusive and diverse
workforce,” said Chris Ludeman, global president, Capital Markets,
CBRE and co-executive sponsor of the company’s LGBT & Allies
Network Group. "We are honored that HRC has recognized our
commitment for the fourth consecutive year by recognizing CBRE as a
Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality."
The 2017 CEI rated 407 major businesses in the report, which
evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices such as
non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner
benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency
programs, and public engagement with the LGBT community.
CBRE’s LGBT & Allies Network Group plays an instrumental
role in ensuring CBRE satisfies all of the CEI’s criteria and in
engaging with national organizations such as Out & Equal that
advocate for workplace equality.
“We are committed to celebrating the successes of all our people
in order to deliver exceptional outcomes to our clients,” said Tim
Schroeder, managing director, Global Workplace Solutions, CBRE and
co-executive sponsor of the LGBT & Allies Network Group. “We
are extremely proud of our people and of this important achievement
that recognizes our commitment to a diverse and inclusive
environment.”
Earlier this year, CBRE was ranked 15th on the list of 500
U.S.-based companies in Forbes magazine’s 2016 “America’s Best
Employers” list. CBRE was also recognized as one of Fortune
magazine's Most Admired Companies for the fourth straight year and
named a World’s Most Ethical Company by The Ethisphere Institute
for the third consecutive year.
