Parsons Earns Top Score in Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index
November 30 2023 - 2:25PM
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation has recognized Parsons
Corporation (NYSE: PSN) with a score of 100 on their 2023 - 2024
Corporate Equality Index (CEI) for active support and inclusion of
the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) community.
The company has been recognized as a leader in LGBTQ+ rights by the
Human Rights Campaign since 2019 and received a score of 100
ranking in 2022.
“At Parsons, our core values serve as the foundation of business
– our people,” said Carey Smith, chair, president, and CEO of
Parsons. “We live our values by putting people first, investing in
their well-being by creating a supportive, inclusive, and resilient
work environment, dedicated to mission solutions that create
lasting change in both the local and global community. Receiving
the Equality 100 Award is a testament to the community we have
created and a promise as we look to the future.”
The CEI is the nation's foremost benchmarking survey and report
measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+
workplace equality. This year's CEI included participation from
1,384 U.S.-based companies to promote and advance LGBTQ+-friendly
workplace policies in the U.S., and inclusion in workplaces abroad.
Parsons' efforts in exceeding this year’s revised CEI criteria
included responding to requirements for increased Gender Transition
Guidelines and transgender-inclusive policies.
“At Parsons, it has long been our standard to empower everyone
to be their most authentic selves, but to also participate in the
inclusive environment we have created,” said Paul Walker-Lanz,
president of Parsons’ LGBTQ+ employee business resource group
(EBRG) PRIDE Alliance. “Through our diversity, equity, and
inclusion (DEI) program, we are proud that Parsons continues to
deliver best-in-class benefit offerings while creating a community
that encourages our people to communicate and collaborate,
continuously testing and strengthening our commitment to DEI and
the LGBTQ+ community through our shared core values.”
Parsons’ support of LGBTQ+ rights, equity, and equality is
elevated by the company’s DEI Council and the PRIDE Alliance, which
teams with the company’s other employee resource groups to promote
collaboration and intersectionality, connecting people and
communities across the company. Parsons participates year-round
with organizations on initiatives aligned with Parsons’ core
values, including partnering with and supporting organizations such
as the Modern Military Association of America (MMAA).
