Just a few weeks ago, Subaru of America, Inc. was officially named a 2022 Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI). 2022 is the sixth year in a row and ninth year overall that Subaru has earned a perfect 100 percent on the CEI, the United State’s primary survey measuring corporate policy impact on LGBTQ+ workplace equality.
“At Subaru, we’re proud to have created a workplace where all are welcome and we are dedicated to continuing to make our company a great place to work for everyone,” said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc. “Guided by our Subaru Love Promise, our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging is a core value that makes Subaru more than a car company.”
The CEI is designed to evaluate companies on specific, detailed criteria within four central topics: workplace protections, inclusive benefits, supporting an inclusive culture, and corporate social responsibility / responsible citizenship. Subaru was one of nearly 1,300 companies ranked nationwide by the CEI, and one of 842 businesses that satisfied all CEI criteria to earn a 100 percent ranking.
“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,” said Jay Brown, Human Rights Campaign Senior Vice President of Programs, Research and Training. “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.”
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation does educational work for the Human Rights Campaign, one of America's most important civil rights organizations working to achieve equality for LGBTQ+ people. For more information regarding the CEI score, please visit www.hrc.org/cei.
