earned the top rating of 100 percent in the 2009 Corporate Equality
Index (CEI), an annual survey administered by the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation. Visteon was one of eight automotive companies
and the only first-tier auto supplier among the 259 U.S.-based
companies earning top marks for their treatment of lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender employees. Separately, Visteon received a
Corporate ONE Award from the Michigan Minority Business Development
Council (MMBDC) for the company's supplier diversity program, which
drives procurement opportunities with minority business owners.
This is the third year Visteon has earned the award, which is given
to less than 10 percent of the MMBDC's corporate members. Criteria
for the award include having an established minority/diversity
supplier development program, reporting minority purchases
quarterly, and belonging to MMBDC's Corporate ONE, an initiative to
aid minority businesses in becoming competitive bidders for
corporate contracts. "We are proud to be recognized for our
commitment to maintaining an environment in which all employees and
business partners are treated with respect," said Donald J.
Stebbins, Visteon president and chief executive officer. "We work
to foster an inclusive environment that provides equal opportunity
to our employees, customers, suppliers and the community at large."

including supplier diversity. Visteon previously was named one of
