PAWTUCKET, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the second year in a row, Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) has earned a score of 100 percent on the 2018 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
“At Hasbro, we believe that supporting all people and promoting inclusion across our business and society makes the world a better place for all,” said Brian Goldner, Chairman and CEO, Hasbro, Inc. “We are committed to promoting a culture of diversity, inclusion and belonging in which everyone knows they are valued, respected and empowered to bring their best ideas forward, and take great pride in this recognition as one of the most LGBTQ-friendly companies in America.”
The 2018 CEI rated 609 businesses in the report, which evaluates LGBTQ-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the LGBTQ community. Hasbro’s efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria resulted in a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.
