MCLEAN, Va. – 2012-11-15 — /travelprnews.com/ — Hilton Worldwide announced today that it has scored 90 out of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) 2012 Corporate Equality Index, up 30 points from last year.
The additional points achieved by Hilton Worldwide were a result of three initiatives launched this year, including:
“We made significant improvements this year and we’re very proud of our accomplishments,” said Jon Muñoz, senior director, diversity and inclusion, Hilton Worldwide. “We are excited to be listed among great companies that are equally committed to the LGBT community.”
The HRC’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI) report, released each fall since 2002, provides an in-depth analysis and rating of large U.S. employers and their policies and practices pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees. It is the premiere national benchmark for LGBT workplace inclusion. All consumer-oriented businesses are included in our “Buying for Equality” guide.
A total of 889 businesses have been rated in the 2013 CEI, including the entire Fortune 500. Two-hundred ninety-three Fortune 500 companies voluntarily submitted surveys; the remaining 201 were rated based upon publicly-available data (the balance being businesses that merged, were acquired or no longer exist). In addition, 79 Fortune 1000 companies, 141 law firms and 175 other companies voluntarily participated in the 2013 CEI. Voluntary participation in the CEI has doubled since its inception. In 2002, 319 companies participated; this year 688 companies participated. View the full report at www.hrc.org/cei.
