“We’re so proud to have earned a 100% in the Corporate Equality
Index for a second year,” said Clara Green, head of Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion for Regions. “We do not take this recognition
for granted; we will continue working hard to foster a sense of
belonging for our colleagues who are part of the LGBTQ+
community.”
Regions joins the ranks of more than 767 major U.S. businesses
that also earned top marks in this year’s survey, earning the title
of being a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.”
The results of the 2021 CEI showcase how 1,142 U.S.-based
companies are not only promoting LGBTQ+-friendly workplace policies
in the U.S., but also for the 57% of CEI-rated companies with
global operations who are helping advance the cause of LGBTQ+
inclusion in workplaces abroad.
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
- Corporate social responsibility
“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.”
Regions fully supports offering a comprehensive benefits program
to those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, including medical,
dental and vision coverage for same-sex domestic partnerships.

community can be found on regions.com.
