DALLAS, Feb. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Human Rights Campaign Foundation has recognized Comerica for its commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment for the eighth consecutive year after receiving a perfect 100 percent on its Corporate Equality Index (CEI). The CEI is the nation's foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring company policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality.
"Comerica understands that a diverse and inclusive company makes us stronger and allows us to better serve our customers, communities and colleagues," said Nate Bennett, Chief Diversity Officer and Head of Talent Acquisition. "This recognition is a reflection of our commitment to foster a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment and the efforts of our colleagues who continue to share in our mission."
Key to Comerica's perfect score are the efforts of its LGBTA Business Resource Group and LGBTQA Employee Resource Group. These groups share in Comerica's efforts to foster diversity and inclusion by engaging local communities, participating in community events and sharing the message of LGBTQ+ equality during informative diversity dialogue sessions.
The CEI evaluates companies against its four pillars that include, nondiscrimination policies across business entities; equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ works and their families; supporting an inclusive culture; and corporate social responsibility. Comerica was one of a record 842 businesses that earned CEI's top score of 100 and designation as a 2022 "Best Place to work for LGBTQ Equality."
