WPP (NYSE: WPP) has received a top score of 100 on the 2022
Corporate Equality Index (CEI) and has once again been named among
the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality. The CEI, administered
by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation, is the premier
benchmarking survey and report in the U.S. measuring corporate
policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality. WPP
joins more than 840 major U.S. businesses to also earn full marks
this year.
The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four
central pillars: non-discrimination policies; equitable benefits
for LGBTQ+ workers and their families; supporting an inclusive
culture; and corporate social responsibility. The results of this
year’s CEI showcase the 1,271 U.S.-based companies that are
promoting LGBTQ+-friendly workplace policies in the U.S., and also
helping to advance the cause of LGBTQ+ inclusion in workplaces
abroad.
Mark Read, CEO of WPP, said: “Inclusion, and actively
building an inclusive culture, is table stakes for every company in
today’s world. People, particularly those in marginalized groups,
want to work for companies that share their values and create
opportunities for them to thrive, grow and be heard. As we continue
our work at WPP, we’re proud of this recognition in the Corporate
Equality Index.”
Jay Brown, Human Rights Campaign Senior Vice President of
Programs, Research and Training, said: “When the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation created the Corporate Equality Index 20 years
ago, we dreamed that LGBTQ+ workers – from the factory floor to
corporate headquarters, in big cities and small towns – could have
access to the policies and benefits needed to thrive and live life
authentically. We are proud that the Corporate Equality Index paved
the way to that reality for countless LGBTQ+ workers in America and
abroad. But there is still more to do, which is why we are raising
the bar yet again to create more equitable workplaces and a better
tomorrow for LGBTQ+ workers everywhere. Congratulations to WPP for
achieving the title of ‘best places to work for LGBTQ+ equality’
and working to advance inclusion in the workplace.”
