CBRE Scores 100% on Human Rights Campaign
Foundation’s Annual Scorecard on LGBT Workplace Equality
CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBG) announced that it received a perfect
score of 100 percent on the 2016 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a
national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and
practices related to LGBT workplace equality that is administered
by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. With its high score, CBRE
is recognized as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality. This marks
CBRE’s third consecutive year of achieving a perfect score, and the
company continues to pave the way for increased diversity across
the entire commercial real estate industry.
“We recognize the importance of a diverse workplace in
attracting and retaining talented professionals and fostering
innovation and CBRE continuously strives to enhance our efforts,”
said Jennifer Ashley, global director of human resources, CBRE. “We
are proud to be recognized as a Best Place to Work for LGBT
Equality for the third consecutive year.”
The 2016 CEI rated 1,024 businesses in the report, which
evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices such as
non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner
benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency
programs, and public engagement with the LGBT community.
CBRE’s LGBT & Allies Network Group plays an instrumental
role in ensuring CBRE satisfies all of the CEI’s criteria and in
engaging with national organizations such as Out & Equal that
advocate for workplace equality.
“This achievement is a celebration of our hard work and
unsurpassed commitment to bringing all perspectives to the table to
deliver the best client outcomes. We are incredibly proud of our
people and of this achievement,” said Chris Ludeman, global
president of Capital Markets for CBRE and co-executive sponsor of
the LGBT & Allies Network Group.
CBRE has been recognized as a trailblazing employer in the
commercial real estate industry. Earlier this year, CBRE was named
one of “America’s Best Employers” by Forbes magazine, recognized as
one of Fortune magazine's Most Admired Companies for the third
straight year, and named a World’s Most Ethical Company by The
Ethisphere Institute for the second consecutive year.
