30 January 2020 - 11:01AM
Business Wire
Citi has been ranked as the most inclusive financial services
employer in the UK by the lesbian, gay, bi and trans equality
charity Stonewall, in its Top 100 Employers list for 2020. Citi
improved its overall ranking to seventh place, marking the third
consecutive year that it makes the list’s top ten. Citi has also
been confirmed as a Top Trans Inclusive Employer. This year’s list
had the highest number of entrants with 503 employers demonstrating
their commitment to LGBT workplace inclusion.
“These honours reflect the leadership of our senior executives
and our Citi Pride affinity networks – expanding inclusive
workplace policies, advocating for LGBT+ equality and supporting
community partners – and that of individual employees, LGBT+
advocates and allies who share our commitment to inclusion and
diversity.” said Clare Eastburn, Global Head of Operational
Regulatory Change and Co-Chair of Citi Pride Network London.
Bob Annibale, Global Head of Inclusive Finance and Community
Development and Global Co-lead of Citi’s Pride Affinity said “We’ve
made great progress, benefiting from shared best practices from
other employers and organizations like Stonewall. We know that we
must continue to strive for ever greater LGBT+ inclusion, in our
offices in the UK, and in the many countries around the world where
the rights of LGBT+ individuals are not yet upheld.”
Sanjay Sood-Smith, Stonewall’s Executive Director of Workplace
& Community Programmes, said “We are delighted to name Citi as
one of our Top 100 Employers this year. All the organisations in
this year's Top 100 Employer's list are playing a huge role in
improving the lives of LGBT people, and should be very proud of
their work. We still don't live in a world where everyone is able
to be themselves in the workplace, as we know more than a third of
LGBT staff (35%) hide who they are at work. By taking steps to make
their workplaces supportive and welcoming of all lesbian, gay, bi
and trans people, businesses like Citi are bringing us closer to a
world where everyone is accepted without exception.”
“At Citi, we are incredibly proud of our Stonewall ranking this
year, as it is a solid recognition of our ongoing efforts to create
a culture where all of our employees can feel valued for who they
are and bring their true selves to work.” concluded Denise Cole,
EMEA Head of Inclusion & Diversity.
Stonewall’s Top 100 is compiled from submissions to the
Workplace Equality Index, a powerful benchmarking tool used by
employers to assess their achievements and progress on LGBT
equality in the workplace, as well as their wider work in the
community and on service provision. Each organisation must
demonstrate their expertise in 10 areas of employment policy and
practice, including networking groups, senior leadership,
procurement and how well they’ve engaged with LGBT communities.
