Iron Mountain Earns Top Marks in 2019 Corporate Equality Index
Company Earns 100 percent on Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 17th Annual Scorecard on LGBTQ Workplace Equality for the second consecutive year
BOSTON, April 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Iron Mountain Incorporated® (NYSE: IRM), the global leader in storage and information management services, today announced that for the second consecutive year, it received a perfect score of 100 on the 2019 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation's premier benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation. Iron Mountain joins the ranks of over 560 major U.S. businesses that also earned top marks this year.
"Iron Mountain has a core value to build and sustain an inclusive culture that encourages our employees to bring their whole, authentic selves into the workplace," said Ty Ondatje, senior vice president and chief diversity officer, Iron Mountain. "Our diverse employee base reflects the customers and communities where we operate and live, and we believe it is a competitive advantage for our business and critical to our success. We benefit from the unique and different abilities, perspectives and backgrounds of our global employees, each of whom contribute to the diversity of thought and talent that help us innovate. Our CEI score is a reflection of that belief and our commitment to an inclusive environment where all of our employees can thrive."
"The top-scoring companies on this year's CEI are not only establishing policies that affirm and include employees here in the United States, they are applying these policies to their global operations and impacting millions of people beyond our shores," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "Many of these companies have also become vocal advocates for equality in the public square, including the dozens that have signed on to amicus briefs in vital Supreme Court cases and the more than 170 that have joined HRC's Business Coalition for the Equality Act. Time and again, leading American businesses have shown that protecting their employees and customers from discrimination isn't just the right thing to do -- it's also good for business."
The 2019 CEI 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. Iron Mountain's efforts in satisfying all of the CEI's criteria results in a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.
