Bank Named Top Place to Work for LGBT
Equality
MUFG Union Bank announced today that it has achieved a perfect
score of 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) 2017
Corporate Equality Index (CEI). MUFG Union Bank has consistently
achieved high marks in the CEI, and this year marks the fourth
consecutive year that MUFG Union bank has earned a perfect
score.
“We are proud of our efforts to create an inclusive, diverse
workplace that honors the unique contributions of all individuals,
regardless of sexual orientation,” said Steve Cummings, President
and CEO of MUFG Union Bank. “We’re delighted that the Human Rights
Campaign has chosen to acknowledge us for the fourth year in a row,
and we’re proud of our legacy as a corporate leader in supporting
LGBT equality.”
MUFG Union Bank prides itself on its investment in a diverse,
inclusive workplace. Half of MUFG Union Bank’s workforce is
composed of women and people of color, and the bank has one of the
most inclusive corporate boards in American banking, with 60% of
its board members being women and/or people of color. In addition,
the bank makes significant investments in community development
finance, diverse business lending and supplier diversity.
Another example of MUFG Union Bank’s commitment to the LGBT
community and its employees is Pride Alliance, one of the bank’s
employee resource groups. Pride Alliance reinforces the bank’s
commitment to valuing and leveraging inclusion and diversity in
order to build a premier workforce and strengthen business. It also
encourages relationship building and support of lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, and ally communities. For example, the bank
participates in various LGBT Pride celebrations, and supports
numerous LGBT community and non-profit organizations, including a
long-standing partnership with the Financial Services Industry
Exchange (FSIX).
MUFG Union Bank attributes its commitment to LGBT rights to the
company’s corporate ethos, which aims to mentor, hire and retain
top-talent from all backgrounds.
“As one of the leading banks in the United States and the world,
we benefit from our dedication to creating a welcoming, diverse
workspace that values recruiting and promoting those with different
viewpoints and experiences,” said Mike Sebring, Head of Inclusion
and Diversity for the Americas at MUFG Union Bank. “This energetic
approach to diversity allows us to continually innovate and enhance
the way we meet our customers’ needs.” HRC’s Corporate Equality
Index rated over 1,000 businesses in the report, which evaluates
LGBT-related policies and practices including non-discrimination
workplace protections, domestic partner benefits,
transgender-specific health care benefits, competency programs, and
public engagement with the LGBT community. Besides a perfect score
from HRC, MUFG Union Bank has also been included on HRC’s list of
“Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality.”
