AECOM has been designated as a “Best Place to Work” for LGBTQ
Equality in the United States
AECOM (NYSE:ACM), the world’s premier infrastructure firm,
announced today that it has earned a perfect score of 100 on the
Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s 2020 Corporate Equality
Index (CEI) and been designated a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ
Equality in the United States. The Corporate Equality Index is the
national benchmarking tool on corporate policies and practices
pertinent to LGBTQ employees. The perfect score puts AECOM among
the top-ranked firms within the engineering and construction sector
for a third year.
“We’re grateful to be recognized and celebrated by the HRC
Foundation for our efforts to affirm our LGBTQ workforce and their
families by cultivating an inclusive culture,” said Michael S.
Burke, AECOM’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Through our
global employment policies and benefits platform, we remain
dedicated to fostering an environment free of discrimination and
harassment, and ensuring equal opportunities for all.”
Employers earning top ratings took concrete steps to ensure
greater equity for LGBTQ workers and their families in the form of
comprehensive policies, benefits and practices. The CEI rating
criteria have three key pillars:
- Non-discrimination policies across business entities;
- Equitable benefits for LGBTQ workers and their families;
- Supporting an inclusive culture and corporate social
responsibility.
AECOM strongly believes in a culture of inclusion and diversity—
a safe and respectful work environment where the best and brightest
are invited to bring their talents, backgrounds and expertise to
bear on some of the world’s most complex problems. We’re committed
to engaging our employees globally to understand regional inclusion
and diversity opportunities, building leadership accountability and
expanding recruitment efforts to ensure a workforce reflective of
our communities.
The Human Rights Campaign and Foundation together serve as
America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve
LGBTQ equality. By inspiring and engaging individuals and
communities, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBTQ people
and realize a world that achieves fundamental fairness and equality
for all. The CEI criteria reflect leading policies, benefits and
practices for the LGBTQ workforce and their families in the United
States. For more information on this year’s CEI report visit:
