Subaru of America, Inc. has once again earned the top rating of 100-percent in the 2011 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the ninth-annual survey administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC). Subaru is one of only 338 other major U.S. businesses that received top marks for their treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employees and consumers.
“We are pleased to receive this recognition once again,” said Thomas J. Doll, executive vice president and COO, Subaru of America, Inc. “Due to the contributions of our employees in terms of unique insights and perspectives as well as talents, we have built a corporate culture in which our employees work with pride.”
The CEI report, released each fall, provides an in-depth analysis and rating of large U.S. employers and their policies towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees. More than 580 businesses were evaluated on their LGBT-related practices including non-discrimination policies, transgender health benefits and domestic partner benefits. Subaru’s efforts in ensuring LGBT equality in each of the survey’s main criterion earned it the prestigious 100-percent rating.
