The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation has recognized U.S.
Bank with a perfect score of 100 percent in its 2016 Corporate
Equality Index (CEI). The index is a national benchmarking survey
and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBT
workplace equality.
“We believe in putting people first, and our dedication to
making ethical decisions and doing the right thing is at the heart
of what we do,” said Richard Davis, chairman, president and chief
executive officer of U.S. Bancorp, parent company of U.S. Bank. “No
two people are alike, and at this company we respect and encourage
all points of view so that we provide value to employees,
shareholders, customers and the community.”
This is the eighth consecutive year in which U.S. Bank has been
recognized by the HRC as a Best Place to Work. U.S. Bank joins the
ranks of 407 major U.S. businesses which also earned top marks this
year.
The 2016 CEI rated 1,027 businesses in the report, which
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. U.S. Bank
