Business Wire
Macquarie Group ("Macquarie") (ASX: MQG; ADR: MQBKY), today
announced that the company received a perfect score of 100 per cent
on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI). The
CEI is the national benchmarking tool on corporate policies and
practices pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and
queer (LGBTQ) employees.
In 2020, the Human Rights Campaign rated a number of companies
on a scale of 0 to 100 per cent for the CEI. Macquarie’s score of
100 per cent reflects its ongoing dedication to equality for LGBTQ
employees reflected in its policies and practices, including
parental and other medical leave and benefits and practices to
support an inclusive culture for staff. Macquarie also received a
perfect score on the CEI in 2019.
“We are proud to again have been designated by the Human Rights
Campaign as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality and are
committed to maintaining an inclusive workplace for our staff,”
said Anthony Lennon, a member of Macquarie’s US Management
Committee and co-Executive Sponsor of Pride@Macquarie, Macquarie’s
LGBTQ employee network group.
“This achievement is a reflection of our ongoing effort to
create a workplace where our staff are empowered to contribute and
are supported by policies that reflect our core values,” said
Rachel Palmer, Regional Head of Human Resources, Americas.
“Although we maintain our perfect score, we continue to monitor and
evaluate our practices to ensure ongoing support of LGBTQ staff
across all levels of our organization.”
Macquarie was the first Australian-headquartered financial
services institution ranked on the CEI. The achievement of a
perfect score in 2019 and again in 2020 represents the commitment
by staff and Pride@Macquarie who work to strengthen the company’s
institutional and cultural support for LGBTQ employees.
