CLEVELAND, May 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition
of its diversity and inclusion management, KeyBank has earned the
#35 place on the 2018 DiversityInc "Top 50 Companies for
Diversity" list. KeyBank was also ranked #13 on the "Top
Companies for Diversity Councils" list. The honors were announced
by DiversityInc at an event in New
York on May 1.
This year marks the ninth time KeyBank placed on the Top 50 list
and the fifth consecutive appearance on the DiversityInc "Top
Companies for Diversity Councils" list.
"Leading and living our commitment to do business fairly and
responsibly, and in ways that benefit us all, is part of our
corporate fabric," said Beth Mooney,
Chairman and CEO, KeyCorp. "KeyBank's diversity and inclusion
efforts are fundamental to how we run our business and to our
culture. We are proud to be recognized for the ninth time by
DiversityInc for how diversity and inclusion are reflected in our
workforce, our workplace, and our marketplace."
The DiversityInc Top 50 list, issued yearly since 2001,
recognizes the nation's top companies for diversity and inclusion
management. These companies excel in such areas as hiring,
retaining and promoting women, minorities, people with
disabilities, LGBT and veterans.
"Events of the past year have demonstrated that decisive ethical
leadership is necessary to guide any organization to success,"
notes Luke Visconti, founder and CEO
of DiversityInc. "Successful leaders hold themselves
accountable to be culturally competent, a skill that requires
constant learning. DiversityInc Top 50 Companies have a
metrics-evidenced ability to treat people more fairly than other
large companies. They also have a greater-than-average return for
their shareholders."
DiversityInc's extensive annual survey yields an empirically
driven ranking based on recruitment, talent development, senior
leadership commitment and supplier diversity. This year's
competition was improved by new survey questions, increased
emphasis on fairness over chasing numbers and more sophisticated
analysis from DiversityInc's data scientists.
"At KeyBank, leading with diversity and inclusion is at the
heart of what we do every day and how we deliver in every
way. We are honored to, once again, be recognized by
DiversityInc as a Top 50 Company for Diversity. This affirms our
commitment to inclusion and our deliberate focus on being a
responsible bank," said Kim
Manigault, KeyCorp's Chief Diversity & Inclusion
Officer.
