The FINANCIAL -- Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. announced that the company scored a 100 percent rating on the Human Rights Campaign tenth annual Corporate Equality Index and is a recipient of the HRC “Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality” award.
With no federal nondiscrimination law and limited state protections, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index has helped transform the American workplace for the better over the past ten years. According to Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, this year, 190 corporations, across industries, geographies and size, will receive a 100 percent score on significantly more stringent criteria, including 10 of the top 20 Fortune-ranked companies.
As companies compete to recruit and retain the best employees and influence consumer choices, CEI ratings have redefined the norm for how all companies treat LGBT workers and their families. The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against GLBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
