NortonLifeLock earns 100 on the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation’s annual assessment of LGBTQ workplace
equality
NortonLifeLock (NASDAQ: NLOK), a global leader in consumer Cyber
Safety, today announced it has received a top score of 100 on the
Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2021 Corporate Equality Index,
the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring
corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace
equality. NortonLifeLock joins the ranks of 767 major U.S.
businesses that also earned top marks this year.
“At NortonLifeLock, we seek and value the diverse perspectives,
backgrounds, and ideas of all employees,” said Vincent Pilette,
chief executive officer at NortonLifeLock. “We know having diverse
talent makes us stronger as we create innovative products and
services that help protect and empower people to live their digital
lives safely. We are committed to a culture and environment where
each NortonLifeLock team member is respected and encouraged to
thrive.”
“From the previously unimaginable impact of the COVID-19
pandemic, to a long overdue reckoning with racial injustice, 2020
was an unprecedented year. Yet, many businesses across the nation
stepped up and continued to prioritize and champion LGBTQ
equality,” said Alphonso David, Human Rights Campaign
President. “This year has shown us that tools like the CEI are
crucial in the work to increase equity and inclusion in the
workplace, but also that companies must breathe life into these
policies and practices in real and tangible ways. Thank you to the
companies that understand protecting their LGBTQ employees and
consumers from discrimination is not just the right thing to do—but
the best business decision.”
The CEI rates employers providing these crucial protections to
over 18 million U.S. workers and an additional 17 million abroad.
Companies rated in the CEI include Fortune magazine’s 500 largest
publicly traded businesses, American Lawyer magazine’s top 200
revenue-grossing law firms (AmLaw 200), and hundreds of publicly
and privately held mid- to large-sized businesses.
The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four
central pillars:
- Non-discrimination policies across business entities;
- Equitable benefits for LGBTQ workers and their families;
- Supporting an inclusive culture; and,
- Corporate social responsibility.
NortonLifeLock’s efforts in satisfying all the CEI’s criteria
earned a 100 percent ranking and the designation as one of the Best
Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality. This is the second year that
NortonLifeLock has been listed on the CEI, and the 13th consecutive
year that the diversity and inclusion work started by Symantec1 has
been recognized.
