Company Receives 100 Percent on Human Rights
Campaign Foundation’s Annual Assessment of LGBTQ+ Workplace
Equality for the Eleventh Consecutive Year
Office Depot, a wholly owned subsidiary of The ODP Corporation
(NASDAQ:ODP), a leading provider of business services, products and
digital workplace technology solutions through an integrated B2B
distribution platform with an online presence and approximately
1,100 stores, today announced that it received a perfect score of
100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 Corporate
Equality Index, the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and
report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+
workplace equality. This is the eleventh year in a row year that
Office Depot has been recognized with top marks.
“We’re honored to receive a 100 percent score on the Human
Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index for the
eleventh consecutive year,” said Zoë Maloney, executive vice
president and chief human resources officer for The ODP
Corporation. “Our associates play a vital role in serving our
communities and our customers – and our diverse perspectives,
ideas, and experiences are what drive our success.”
The 2022 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. Office Depot’s efforts in satisfying all of the
CEI’s criteria earned a 100 percent ranking and the designation as
one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality.
“When the Human Rights Campaign Foundation created the Corporate
Equality Index 20 years ago, we dreamed that LGBTQ+ workers—from
the factory floor to corporate headquarters, in big cities and
small towns—could have access to the policies and benefits needed
to thrive and live life authentically,” said Jay Brown, senior vice
president of programs, research and training for the Human Rights
Campaign. “We are proud that the Corporate Equality Index paved the
way to that reality for countless LGBTQ+ workers in America and
abroad. But there is still more to do, which is why we are raising
the bar yet again to create more equitable workplaces and a better
tomorrow for LGBTQ+ workers everywhere. Congratulations to Office
Depot for achieving the title of ‘best places to work for LGBTQ+
equality’ and working to advance inclusion in the workplace.”
