Sonos earns top score on the HRC Corporate Equality Index for
its policies and practices in LGBTQ workplace equality
Sonos (Nasdaq; SONO) was today recognized in the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation’s ‘Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality’
list, receiving a 100 point rating on the Corporate Equality Index,
based on an in-depth analysis of workplace policies and practices
for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ)
employees. To achieve a perfect score, companies must have fully
inclusive equal employment opportunity policies, provide equal
employment benefits, demonstrate their commitment to equality
publicly and exercise responsible citizenship.
“Inclusion is at the core of who we strive to be, and we
appreciate this recognition of our continuing commitment to
equitable and inclusive policies, benefits, and practices for
LGBTQ+ employees and their families,” said Shamayne Braman, Chief
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer for Sonos. “We look forward
to building on this momentum as we challenge ourselves to further
ensure that everyone at Sonos feels a sense of connection and
belonging.”
“We are building a workplace where LGBTQ+ employees can be
themselves, without having to conform to outmoded expectations of
gender or sexuality,” said Jess Balogh, co-chair of Pride@Sonos, an
Employee Resource Group that pursues the awareness and support of
Sonos employees who identify as LGBTQ+. “Pride@Sonos is a place of
community, support and celebration of our diversity. One of the
ways we express this within and beyond Sonos is through the
creation of the Full Spectrum station on Sonos Radio.”
Full Spectrum is a publicly available station on Sonos Radio,
conceived and created by Pride@Sonos with support from the Sonos
Radio team, featuring songs from artists in the LGBTQ+ community
along with personal liner notes recorded by Sonos employees. To
