MIAMI, July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival
Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL;NYSE: CUK), the world's
largest cruise company, today announced it has been named one of
America's Best Employers for Women in 2020 by Forbes, a leading
source of business news worldwide.
Presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading
statistics portal and industry ranking provider, the annual listing
of the best 300 U.S. employers for women is available in its
entirety on the Forbes website. In Forbes' annual survey, Carnival
Corporation was ranked the No.
9 employer in the travel and leisure industry, and was
the only cruise-specific company to be recognized among the 300 top
companies employing at least 1,000 people in their U.S.
operations.
"As a company, we fully embrace the importance of the power of
diversity and inclusion in driving innovation and performance,"
said Roger Frizzell, chief
communications officer for Carnival Corporation, whose nine cruise
line brands include Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line and
Princess Cruises. "This recognition underscores our commitment to a
positive and supportive work environment supporting equal
opportunity and diversity for all of our dedicated and passionate
employees."
The exclusive listing of America's Best Employers for Women was
determined through an independent survey of more than 75,000 U.S.
employees, including 45,000 women, working for companies with at
least 1,000 employees in their U.S. operations. Of the thousands of
companies considered for the recognition, only 300 were awarded,
based on participant assessments in categories including
discrimination, family support, flexibility, parental leave, pay
equity, and representation and career.
The ranking as a top employer for women is the most recent in a
series of recognitions Carnival Corporation has earned for its
commitment to corporate social responsibility leadership, including
another independent commendation from Forbes as one of America's
Best Employers for Diversity for 2020. The company was also
recently named to 3BL Media's listing of 100 Best Corporate
Citizens for 2020 and was recognized for corporate social
responsibility by Newsweek on its inaugural list of America's Most
Responsible Companies for 2020. In addition, earlier this
year, Carnival Corporation CEO Arnold
Donald was named as one of 2020's Most Influential Black
Executives in Corporate America by Savoy magazine.
Diversity, inclusion and equality have long been hallmarks of
Carnival Corporation's companywide operations, including under the
leadership of Arnold Donald, who has
served as CEO since July 2013.
Working with the principle that diversity drives innovation and a
competitive advantage, Donald has appointed numerous diverse and
dynamic leaders, including several female executives, from a wide
variety of backgrounds into leadership roles as presidents of the
company's cruise line brands and in key roles within global port
and destination development, human resources, marketing, sales,
operations and procurement.
As part of the company's overall commitment to advancing
diversity, inclusion and equality in the workplace, Carnival
Corporation continues to work with Catalyst, a leading U.S.
nonprofit with a mission to expand opportunities for women. In
November 2019, the company supported
Catalyst's "Now Is the Moment—Be a Catalyst" campaign to
advance women's leadership in the global workforce.
