PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced it again received a perfect score
of 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s 2023
Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and
report on corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) workplace equality. PPG
has been listed on the index for 20 years.
“We are committed to cultivating a diverse workplace that is
representative of the customers and communities we serve, while
fostering a culture that is inclusive and helps everyone have a
sense of belonging,” said Marvin Mendoza, PPG global head of
diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I). “Evaluations like the
Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index are an indication
that we are living up to our commitment to protect the well-being
of our employees by providing equitable opportunities and policies.
We know that there is still work ahead - for our organization and
as a society. We continue to address the evolving needs of
historically underrepresented employees.”
Throughout 2022, PPG built upon its previous efforts to offer
inclusive benefits and programming to embed equality in company
practices. For example, the company enhanced its
self-identification practices, established diverse recruiting
partnerships, and continued offering key health benefits to support
LGBTQ+ employees and their partners.
Established in 2002, the 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index is
the 21st iteration of the nation’s leading benchmarking tool for
evaluating a company's LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion policies, serving
employees, consumers, and investors. CEI scoring criteria has been
revised by the HRC Foundation a number of times to keep focus on
the emerging best practices in LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion in order
to meet the needs of the LGBTQ+ community over time.
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.
The HRC Foundation is the educational arm of America's largest
civil rights organization, working to achieve basic equal rights
for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people – at work
and in every community. For further information on the 2023
