MIAMI, Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Corporation
& plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL;NYSE: CUK), the world's largest
cruise company, today announced it has been named as one of the
World's Top Female-Friendly Companies of 2021 by Forbes, a leading
source of business news worldwide.
Presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading
statistics portal and industry ranking provider, the inaugural
listing of the top female-friendly companies recognizes
multinational organizations recommended by women based on a global
survey of 85,000 female workers, along with each company's
reputation for gender equality and representation of women in
leadership positions.
Carnival Corporation – whose nine popular cruise line brands
include namesake Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line,
Princess Cruises and Seabourn in the U.S., along with AIDA Cruises,
Cunard, Costa Cruises, P&O Cruises UK and P&O Cruises
Australia – was ranked among the top 300 female-friendly companies
in the world, and was the only cruise-specific company recognized
on the list. The full list of the World's Top Female-Friendly
Companies for 2021 is available on the Forbes website.
"This recognition as a top female-friendly company underscores
our highest responsibility and top priority, which is compliance,
environmental protection and the health, safety and well-being of
our guests, the people in the communities we visit and our
shipboard and shoreside personnel," said Roger Frizzell, chief communications officer for
Carnival Corporation. "We are honored to once again be recognized
by Forbes for our commitment to providing a positive and supportive
work environment for all of our colleagues and business partners
based on inclusion and the power of diversity."
The Forbes World's Top Female-Friendly Companies list was
determined through a globally administered independent survey of
approximately 85,000 women across 40 total countries. Respondents
were asked to anonymously evaluate their employer's performance
across a broad range of gender-related topics, as well as overall
workplace satisfaction and willingness to recommend their company,
while also providing recommendations for other employers in their
industry. In addition, each company was evaluated based on publicly
available information on representation in leadership positions and
the results of a women-only survey to gather perceptions on
companies in relation to gender equality.
The recognition from Forbes as one of the top female-friendly
companies in the world builds on recent recognitions Carnival
Corporation has earned for its companywide operations and
dedication to diversity, equity and inclusion. This includes
several recent honors from Forbes based on the publication's annual
listings of America's Best Large Employers of 2021, Best Employers
for Diversity for 2020 and America's Best Employers for Women in
2020, as well as the World's Best Employers of 2021.
Additionally in 2021, Carnival Corporation was named a Glassdoor
Employees' Choice Award Winner honoring the best 100 U.S. places to
work and earned a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation's 2021 Corporate Equality Index, designating the company
as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality. The company was also
recognized for its commitment to corporate social responsibility
leadership by Newsweek on its second annual list of America's Most
Responsible Companies for 2021 and named as one of the Best
Companies for Latinos by Latino Leaders Magazine.
The recognition for excellence in the workplace underscores
Carnival Corporation's commitment to support diversity, equity and
inclusion throughout its companywide operations and to provide a
positive and empowering corporate culture for all its shipboard and
shoreside employees. The company's success is a direct result of
its employees, who represent nearly 150 countries across the globe
and have helped create a collaborative and dedicated workforce
committed to consistently exceeding guest expectations and
providing extraordinary vacations for millions of guests around the
world.
