06 Diciembre 2023 - 7:30AM
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF), a leading, global,
omnichannel specialty retailer of apparel and accessories,
today announced it has received a top score on the Human
Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index
(CEI). This marks A&F Co.’s seventeenth consecutive year to
receive a score of 100.
The CEI is the nation’s foremost benchmarking
survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices
related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality. It evaluates corporations’
non-discrimination policies across business entities, equitable
benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families, inclusive workplace
cultures, and corporate social responsibility programs.
“It’s rewarding to see our inclusive culture
recognized by the Human Rights Campaign for the seventeenth
consecutive year,” said Fran Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer of
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. “We aim to create a welcoming
environment that embraces our customers and associates in the
LGBTQ+ community, and we are proud to continue these efforts year
after year.”
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. has numerous
initiatives in place to support, uplift and advocate for its LGBTQ+
associates, customers and allies. This includes an LGBTQ+ &
Allies associate resource group, inclusive company policies and
benefits, workplace training materials and ongoing programming to
foster workplace equity and inclusion of all gender expressions.
Additionally, the company celebrates the LGBTQ+ community with a
variety of product collections, round-up campaigns, and more that
support partners like The Trevor Project and GLSEN.
“For well over two decades, businesses have
played an important role in furthering LGBTQ+ equality by centering
employee needs and voices when it comes to workplace inclusion.
While there is much more work to be done, year-over-year growth in
CEI participation is evidence of a business community that
recognizes the responsibility and value in upholding equity and
inclusion,” said RaShawn “Shawnie” Hawkins, Human Rights Campaign
Sr. Director of Workplace Equality. “Our goal at the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation is to work in a spirit of partnership with
companies, providing educational resources and leading
benchmarking, and collaborating on ways for businesses to support
the LGBTQ+ community at a time when we face unprecedented
legislative attacks, heightened anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and physical
violence. The CEI is an ever-evolving tool – a blueprint that
companies can use to show up more effectively in supporting their
LGBTQ+ employees and their families.”
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.
