雅各布斯连续五年在人权运动基金会的企业平等指数中获得最高分

Did you hear? 在人权运动基金会的2023-2024年企业平等指数中，我们获得了100分, 这是美国最重要的基准调查和报告，衡量与LGBTQ+工作场所平等相关的公司政策和做法.

Joining the ranks of 545 major U.S. businesses that also earned top marks this year, 这是我们连续第五次获得最高分——这是对我们为营造一个接受我们的差异的工作场所所做工作的肯定, celebrated and harnessed to bring the innovative, extraordinary solutions clients demand from us.

“我们非常自豪，我们在人权运动的企业平等指数中保持了最高分. This is a huge testament to Prism, our global employee network for LGBTQ+ people and their allies; our TogetherBeyond team at Jacobs; and all of our colleagues whose continued focus and passion to deliver an inclusive working environment is critical," says Jacobs EVP, Chief Legal & Administrative Officer and Prism Executive Sponsor Joanne Caruso. "It’s a fantastic achievement, 我们期待着挑战自我，树立更高的目标，创造一种包容的文化，让我们所有的队友都能脱颖而出，真正茁壮成长.”

“For well over two decades, 企业通过关注员工的需求和声音，在促进LGBTQ+平等方面发挥了重要作用. While there is much more work to be done, 参与CEI的人数逐年增长，证明商界认识到维护公平和包容的责任和价值,” says RaShawn “Shawnie” Hawkins, Human Rights Campaign Sr Director of Workplace Equality. “Our goal at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation is to work in a spirit of partnership with companies, providing educational resources and leading benchmarking, 在我们面临前所未有的立法攻击之际，在企业支持LGBTQ+社区的方式上进行合作, heightened anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and physical violence. CEI是一个不断发展的工具——一个公司可以用来更有效地支持LGBTQ+员工及其家人的蓝图.” 

The results of the 2023-2024 CEI showcase how U.S.-based companies are promoting LGBTQ+ friendly workplace policies in the U.S. and abroad.

The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four central pillars:

• Non-discrimination policies across business entities.
• Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families.
• Supporting an inclusive culture.
• Corporate social responsibility.

雅各布斯大学为满足CEI的标准所做的努力获得了100分，并被指定为该奖项的获得者 Equality 100 Award: Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion.

The CEI rates employers providing these crucial protections to over 20 million U.S. workers and an additional 18 million outside of the U.S. Companies rated in the CEI include Fortune magazine’s 500 largest publicly traded businesses, American Lawyer magazine’s top 200 revenue-grossing law firms (AmLaw 200), and hundreds of publicly and privately held mid- to large-sized businesses like Jacobs.

We put people at the heart of our business. We embrace different perspectives, collaborating to make a positive impact. Through an unparalleled focus on inclusion with a diverse team of visionaries, thinkers and doers, we build trust – in each other and across our company.

At Jacobs, we understand that “inclusion” is a verb, not a noun. It means being transparent and taking action on our statements, commitments and initiatives that drives meaningful, measurable change both in our company and in the communities that we serve.

It means creating a workplace where our differences are accepted, celebrated and harnessed to bring the innovative, extraordinary solutions clients demand from us. 这意味着创造一种归属感的文化，让每个人都能茁壮成长——一种我们称之为“超越℠”的文化.
