VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC) today announced that it achieved a
perfect score (100 points) on the 2017 Corporate Equality Index,
earning the distinction as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality
from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC). The Corporate
Equality Index (CEI) is the national benchmarking tool that
assesses corporate policies and practices pertaining to lesbian,
gay, bisexual, and transgender employees.
“At VF, appreciation for our differences is a value that is
woven into the fabric of our culture,” said Anita Graham, Vice
President and Chief Human Resources Officer, VF Corporation. “We
value our associates and consumers for who they are, and our
corporate policies and practices reinforce our commitment to
inclusiveness and respect for every individual. We are proud to
receive this recognition from the HRC.”
To receive a perfect score on the CEI report, companies must
have explicit non-discrimination protections for LGBT employees
included in all operations, require contractors to follow these
non-discrimination protections, and disallow any philanthropic
donations to non-religious organizations with written policies of
discrimination.
The HRC is America's largest civil rights organization working
to achieve LGBT equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans,
HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize
a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for
all.
