Pitney Bowes earns 100 on the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation’s annual assessment of LGBTQ workplace
equality
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI), a global technology company that
provides commerce solutions in the areas of ecommerce, shipping,
mailing and financial services, is proud to announce it has
received a perfect score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation’s 2021 Corporate Equality Index, the nation’s foremost
benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and
practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality.
“The progress we have made as a company to earn this recognition
aligns with our core values and our deep-rooted commitment to
diversity. We strive to create an environment where employees can
be their authentic selves, can learn and grow, and can help Pitney
Bowes be the best it can be,” said Sheryl Battles, Vice President,
Global Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement and the executive
sponsor of the Pitney Bowes LGBTQ+ Advisory Council. “This honor is
a real milestone in establishing our company’s efforts to provide
an inclusive culture for our identified and allied LGBTQ+
community.”
“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.”
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. Pitney Bowes’ efforts in satisfying
all of the CEI’s criteria earned a 100 percent ranking and the
designation as one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ
Equality.
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.
