Carnival Corporation Earns Perfect Score in Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index
This is also the third consecutive year that HRC – the largest LGBTQ civil rights organization in the U.S. – named
"A perfect score from the HRC is a major achievement and reflects our efforts to promote a positive work environment that respects people from all walks of life," said
The company has also shown its support of LGBTQ equality and inclusion through:
- Offering welcoming environments with LGBTQ cruises, onboard activities and special events, including hosting the 2015 Director's Circle Summer Luncheon for the Seattle Men's and Women's choruses on
Holland America Line ; - Participating in the Florida Businesses for a Competitive Workforce coalition to end LGBTQ discrimination in the state's businesses; and
- Partnering with equal opportunity champions such as the Human Rights Campaign
"
Available online, the CEI has been the nation's preeminent benchmarking tool for LGBTQ equality in the workplace since 2002. This year, the top score was awarded on the basis of detailed criteria in five key categories: non-discrimination policies, employment benefits, public commitment to LGBTQ equality, responsible corporate citizenship and demonstrated organizational competency and accountability around LGBTQ diversity and inclusion.
