“Pitney Bowes strives to create an environment where each person
is able to be themselves regardless of gender, gender identity,
gender expression or sexuality. We firmly believe that diversity
makes us better and inclusion is essential to drive engagement and
deliver value to all our stakeholders,” said Marc B. Lautenbach,
President and CEO. “Our commitment to including the voices and
value of our global workforce in its collective diversity is
something we are proud of. It is part of our company’s values of
doing the right thing, the right way.”
Pitney Bowes received a top score on the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation’s 2022 Corporate Equality Index, the nation’s foremost
benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and
practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality. In 2002, the first
year of the CEI, only 13 companies achieved a top-score,
demonstrating the incredible impact the CEI has had on the business
world over its 20-year life. This year’s CEI reflects growth across
every measurement category, from the adoption of inclusive
non-discrimination policies, to equitable healthcare benefits for
transgender employees.
“When the Human Rights Campaign Foundation created the Corporate
Equality Index 20 years ago, we dreamed that LGBTQ+ workers—from
the factory floor to corporate headquarters, in big cities and
small towns—could have access to the policies and benefits needed
to thrive and live life authentically,” said Jay Brown, Human
Rights Campaign Senior Vice President of Programs, Research and
Training. “We are proud that the Corporate Equality Index paved the
way to that reality for countless LGBTQ+ workers in America and
abroad. But there is still more to do, which is why we are raising
the bar yet again to create more equitable workplaces and a better
tomorrow for LGBTQ+ workers everywhere. Congratulations to Pitney
Bowes for achieving the title of ‘best places to work for LGBTQ+
equality’ and working to advance inclusion in the workplace.”
Pitney Bowes is one of 418 companies across 45 countries and
regions to join the 2022 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI), a
modified market capitalization-weighted index that aims to track
the performance of public companies committed to transparency in
gender-data reporting. This reference index measures gender
equality across five pillars: female leadership & talent
pipeline, equal pay & gender pay parity, inclusive culture,
anti-sexual harassment policies, and pro-women brand.
“We are proud to recognize Pitney Bowes and the other 417
companies included in the 2022 GEI for their commitment to
transparency and setting a new standard in gender-related data
reporting,” said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg and
Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club. “Even though the threshold
for inclusion in the GEI has risen, the member list continues to
grow. This is a testament that more companies are working to
improve upon their gender-related metrics, fostering more
opportunity for diverse talent to succeed in their
organizations.”
