JANUARY 27, 2022
BNY Mellon earns high scores for inclusive practices by leading indices.
For the 15th consecutive year, BNY Mellon has received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 Corporate Equality Index, the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality. BNY Mellon’s efforts and achievements also earned the designation as one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality.
This is also the fifth year in a row that BNY Mellon is included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI), a leading indicator aimed at increasing transparency surrounding gender-related practices and policies at publicly listed companies. Those included on the 2022 index scored at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect disclosure and the achievement or adoption of best-in-class statistics and policies.
"We are proud to be named among those companies actively driving equity and inclusion," said Yau Cheng, Global Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. "It is down to our people, who truly embody our purpose and values and live them each day. BNY Mellon's culture is focused on excellence, integrity, diversity and leadership, and this recognition affirms the continued success of our journey."
