IBM tops Chamber of Commerce equality index
Posted by Administrator
The International Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce has unveiled the results of the second edition of the International Business Equality Index, today.
The International Index is a measurement of the performance of multinational corporations in relation to Diversity and Inclusion issues specifically focusing on lesbian and gay communities in the countries where they have offices. It serves as an indicator of the diversity leadership taken by global corporations in the local communities in which they serve.
This year the top 5 most LGBT friendly corporations in the world are: IBM, Google, BT Group, Morgan Stanley and Cisco Systems. Of these, three were on the top 5 in 2009 – Google and Morgan Stanley are both new to the Index.
According to IGLCC Founding President & Secretary General, Pascal Lépine, registration in this year’s International Index was more than double the 2009 inaugural year. Twenty five global corporations representing over USD 1 trillion global sales and employing more than 2.2 million people in 220 countries submitted the complete survey.
"IBM is extremely proud to receive this recognition from the International Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce on behalf of all 400,000 IBMers and our LGBT communities worldwide", said Patricia Lewis, vice president, Diversity and Employee Experience.
"IBM's heritage of diversity spans nearly 100 years and we remain focused on continually improving and evolving our innovative global workplace policy practices as we have done throughout our history."
“It is extremely encouraging”, said Mr. David Pollard, Chair of the International Business Equality Index Committee, “that 22 out of the twenty five largest participants in this year’s study had Diversity and Inclusion programs in all of the countries in which they operate, and even more impressive is that the same number included LGBT issues in their global diversity program. This is very exciting and demonstrates how business can contribute to the community globally.”
