MUFG Earns Perfect Score on Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index for Ninth Consecutive Year
NEW YORK, NY – Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) announced that it has achieved a perfect score on the 2022 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s premier 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 (HRC) Foundation. This marks the ninth consecutive year MUFG has earned a perfect score of 100 percent on the CEI and the designation as one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality.
The CEI rates employers providing these crucial protections to over 20 million U.S. workers and an additional 18 million abroad. 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
- Corporate social responsibility
The HRC Foundation is the educational arm of America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for LGBTQ+ people. Through its programs, the HRC Foundation seeks to make transformational change in the everyday lives of LGBTQ+ people, shedding light on inequity and deepening the public’s understanding of LGBTQ+ issues and driving the advancement of inclusive policies and practices.
