UBS Group AG today announced that it received a perfect score of
100 percent on the 2017 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national
benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices
related to LGBT workplace equality, administered by the Human
Rights Campaign Foundation. UBS joins the ranks of 517 major U.S.
businesses which also earned top marks this year.
"It is very gratifying to receive this recognition," said Denise

our clients as well as our employees. By fostering creativity, and
tapping unique ideas, experiences and diverse perspectives, we can

we work for and with."

evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices including
non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner
benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency
programs, and public engagement with the LGBT community. UBS's
efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria results in a 100
percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for
LGBT Equality.
