Moody’s Corporation (NYSE:MCO) announced today that
it has again received a top score on the Corporate Equality Index

recognized in the index for its commitment to workplace equality.
The CEI is a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate
policies and practices related to LGBT workplace equality
administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
“Moody’s is proud to have been recognized with a perfect score
for the fifth year in a row by the Human Rights Campaign’s
Corporate Equality Index. Our continued top ranking reflects the
strong commitment Moody’s has made to a workplace that embraces
equality and inclusion and helps all of our employees feel
comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work,” said Lisa
Westlake, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer
at Moody’s.
The 100 percent ranking recognizes Moody’s efforts in satisfying
all of the CEI’s criteria and the designation of Moody’s as a “Best
Place to Work for LGBT Equality. The 2017 CEI rated 1,043
businesses in the report, which evaluates LGBT-related policies and
practices including non-discrimination workplace protections,
domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care
benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the LGBT
community. Moody’s is among 517 major US businesses that earned top
marks this year.
Among Moody’s programs to promote workplace equality are LGBT
& Allies ERGs (Employee Resource Groups) in many of its global
office locations, which help further Moody’s commitment to a
diverse workforce that values the contributions of all of its
employees. Moody’s also provides training and resources for an
evolving workforce, including a “Transgender Inclusive” initiative
begun in 2016.
