Regions Bank Earns Perfect Score in 2020 Corporate Equality Index

Regions also named a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.

By Nicole Wyatt | January 29, 2020

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – January 28, 2020 – Regions Bank is pleased to announce it received a score of 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2020 Corporate Equality Index (CEI). Regions joins the ranks of more than 680 major U.S. businesses that also earned top marks in this year’s survey, which benchmarks and measures corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality.

“Putting people first is one of our core values, and we’re proud that our efforts to be inclusive of all communities have resulted in earning a 100% in the 2020 Corporate Equality Index,” said Dave Keenan, Chief Human Resources Officer for Regions.

The CEI rates companies based on non-discrimination policies, employment benefits, demonstrated organizational competency and accountability around LGBTQ diversity and inclusion, public commitment to LGBTQ equality, and responsible citizenship.

Regions will continue to innovate as it works towards cultivating a culture of belonging.

“We’re not only building a bridge to inclusion at Regions, we’re also working to foster a sense of belonging for our colleagues who are part of the LGBTQ+ community,” said Clara Green, head of Diversity and Inclusion for Regions. “Achieving a perfect score on the CEI doesn’t mean that our work here is done, it means we’re on the right track. Regions will continue to innovate as it works towards cultivating a culture of belonging.”

In satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria, Regions not only earned a 100% score, but also the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality. Regions fully supports benefit equality for those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, which includes medical, dental and vision coverage for same-sex domestic partnerships. Advice, guidance and financial education specific to the LGBTQ+ community can be found on Regions.com.

“The impact of the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index over its 18-year history is profound,” said Alphonso David, HRC President. “In this time, the corporate community has worked with us to adopt LGBTQ-inclusive policies, practices and benefits. These companies know that protecting their LGBTQ employees and customers from discrimination is not just the right thing to do – it is also the best business decision.”

The full report is available online at www.hrc.org/cei.
