Kering Americas is pleased to announce that it received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2021 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the United States’ foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality. Kering Americas joins the ranks of more than 760 major U.S. businesses that also earned top marks this year.

The results of this year’s CEI showcase how U.S.-based companies are not only promoting LGBTQ-friendly workplace policies in the U.S. but also for the 57% of CEI-rated companies with global operations who are helping advance the cause of LGBTQ inclusion in workplaces abroad.

“At Kering, LGBTQ equality and inclusion are a key part of our values. This recognition by HRC reinforces our commitment to foster and maintain a supportive and inclusive work environment for our employees around the world, including our LGBTQ community. Given the challenges we have all faced over the past year, it is more important than ever that we continue our work to promote inclusion and diversity” said Kalpana Bagamane, Chief Diversity, Inclusion and Talent Officer at Kering.
