Symbotic Earns Equality 100 Award in Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2025 Corporate Equality Index
08 January 2025 - 2:00AM
Symbotic Inc. (Nasdaq: SYM), a leader in A.I.-enabled robotics
technology for the supply chain, today announced that it has
received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s
(HRCF) 2025 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s foremost
benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and
practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality. Symbotic joins the
765 U.S. businesses that will be honored with HRCF’s Equality 100
Award as Leaders in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion. This year’s CEI
includes 1,449 businesses – the highest number of rated companies
since the start of the CEI in 2002.
“I am very proud of the Symbotic team for this important
achievement. Diversity and inclusion are the foundation of our
culture and fuels our innovation to drive meaningful change within
the robotics industry,” said Rick Cohen, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Symbotic.
The results of the 2025 CEI showcase how U.S.-based companies
are promoting LGBTQ+ friendly workplace policies in the U.S. and
abroad. The first year of the CEI included 319 participants, and
the 2025 CEI now surveys 1,449 participants, further demonstrating
the tremendous growth of the CEI. A record-breaking 98 percent of
CEI businesses have nondiscrimination protections specific to
gender identity.
Miriam Ort, Chief Human Resources Officer of Symbotic, added,
“This recognition is a testament to the exceptional efforts of our
team to build a culture where all employees feel respected and
appreciated. Achieving a score of 100 this year truly demonstrates
Symbotic’s commitment to attracting and retaining the best talent
and creating a workplace where everyone can thrive and do their
best work.”
The CEI rates employers providing these crucial protections to
more than 22 million U.S. workers and includes Fortune magazine’s
500 largest publicly traded businesses, American Lawyer magazine’s
top 200 revenue-grossing law firms (AmLaw 200), and hundreds of
publicly and privately held mid- to large-sized businesses.
The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four
central pillars:
- Non-discrimination policies across business entities;
- Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families;
- Supporting an inclusive culture; and,
- Corporate social responsibility.
