CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Royal Philips has received a score of 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 Corporate Equality Index, a national benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality. It’s the fourth consecutive year that Philips has been named to the list. "We aim to be the best place to work for our employees, embracing diversity and inclusion, and assuring a safe and healthy work environment," said Lauren Gohde, Philips North America Inclusion & Diversity Lead. "Achieving CEI’s designation as a ‘Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality’ with a 100% score is the result of collaboration at all levels and from across the entire organization. While there is always more work that needs to be done, we are grateful for this recognition and what it stands for. Our commitment to ensuring a culture of inclusion and belonging for all has never been stronger." Philips is one of only 30 health care companies in the country to score 100%. The company’s most recent workplace equality initiatives include the launch of Corporate Social Responsibility Giving Guidelines, a vendor non-discrimination agreement and a commitment to employee education on gender identity and sexual orientation.
