明尼阿波利斯，2021年1月28日 / 3BL媒体 / - 15^thyear, General Mills has earned a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2021 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality.

“At General Mills, we know we bring together remarkable people who are bonded over a love of food, and a love of people. We’re proud of our track record for excellence on the Corporate Equality Index, because all truly are welcome at our table,” said Jacqueline Williams-Roll, chief human resources officer, General Mills. “We put rigor, intentionality and accountability around fostering a culture of inclusivity, because we know it takes more than one program or one conversation.”

This designation was earned, in part, by the efforts of Betty’s Family, General Mills’ employee network for LGBTQ+ employees and allies. Betty’s Family works tirelessly to promote an environment where everyone can be their authentic selves. In a year that upended how and where work got done, the network advanced key programming and created space, support and connection for the General Mills community. Highlights from the year include:

• Growing global support in Canada, Latin America and India;
• Celebrating Pride month with the Pride Ride Car Parade;
• Hosting a virtual National Coming Out Day panel attended by over 900 employees;
• Creating community with virtual connections that celebrated life milestones, encouraged civic engagement and supported allyship.

“从共同19日大流行的先前无法想象的影响到长期以来对种族不公正现象的逾期，2020年是前所未有的一年。然而，全国各地的许多企业加紧努力，继续优先考虑和倡导LGBTQ平等。”人权运动总裁Alphonso David说。“今年向我们表明，像CEI这样的工具对于增加工作场所的公平和包容性至关重要，而且公司必须以真实和切实的方式将生命融入这些政策和实践中。感谢那些了解保护其LGBTQ员工和消费者免受歧视的公司，不仅是正确的做法，而且是最佳商业决定。”

The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling in 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.
