Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) a global leader in health
technology, has received a score of 90 out of 100 on the Human
Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index
(CEI), the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report
measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+
workplace equality. Philips joins 1,384 major U.S. businesses that
were also ranked in the 2023-2024 CEI.
The results of the 2023-2024 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 2023-2024 CEI now includes 1,384
participants. Philips' commitment to promoting diversity and
inclusion is reflected in its CEI score, which considers several
factors. The company provides employee education on gender identity
and sexual orientation, and offers inclusive benefits for LGBTQ+
employees. Its Pride Employee Resource Group (ERG) plays a crucial
role in fostering an inclusive workplace culture, ensuring
equitable benefits and equal access to opportunities and
development for LGBTQ+ employees. Additionally, Philips holds its
suppliers and vendors to non-discrimination policies to further
support diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
“At Philips, we are committed to creating the best place to work
for all our employees by creating a culture of inclusion, equity
and belonging. We celebrate our differences and fully leverage them
to help build capability on topics such as gender transition in the
workplace, mental health and employee well-being,” said Sonam
Lalwani, Head of Diversity, Inclusion and Wellbeing, Philips North
America. “Our inclusion in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s
Corporate Equality Index is a testament to the hard work and
dedication of our people to cultivate an environment where everyone
feels valued and supported, and is further validation of our
collective effort to make Philips a great place to work.”
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.
