“Earning a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate
Equality Index for the third year demonstrates Pitney Bowes
commitment to an inclusive workplace. We are committed to creating
an environment that fosters inclusivity and enables our team
members to bring their true selves to work, regardless of gender,
gender identity, gender expression or sexuality,” said Jason C.
Dies, interim Chief Executive Officer. “I am proud to see Pitney
Bowes continue to rise as a leader and be recognized for our
continued dedication to creating and fostering an inclusive
workforce.”
“For well over two decades, businesses have played an important
role in furthering LGBTQ+ equality by centering employee needs and
voices when it comes to workplace inclusion. While there is much
more work to be done, year-over-year growth in CEI participation is
evidence of a business community that recognizes the responsibility
and value in upholding equity and inclusion,” said RaShawn
“Shawnie” Hawkins, Human Rights Campaign Sr Director of Workplace
Equality.
The results of the 2023-2024 CEI showcase how U.S.-based
companies are promoting LGBTQ+ friendly workplace policies in the
U.S. and abroad. The first year of the CEI included 319
participants, and the 2023-2024 CEI now includes 1,384
participants; further demonstrating the tremendous trajectory of
the CEI, a record-breaking 1,340 businesses have non-discrimination
protections specific to gender identity, up from just 17 in 2002.
These critical non-discrimination protections cover 21 million
employees in the U.S. and around the globe. Pitney Bowes efforts in
satisfying all the CEI’s criteria earned a score of 100 and the
designation as recipient of the Equality 100 Award: Leader in
LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion.
The CEI rates employers providing these crucial protections to
over 20 million U.S. workers and an additional 18 million outside
of the U.S. Companies rated in the CEI include Fortune magazine’s
500 largest publicly traded businesses, American Lawyer magazine’s
top 200 revenue-grossing law firms (AmLaw 200), and hundreds of
publicly and privately held mid-to large-sized businesses.
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.
