Automaker Earns Perfect Score on the Human Rights Campaign Scorecard on LGBTQ Workplace Equality

Subaru of America, Inc. today announced that the Human Rights Campaign has awarded the automaker a score of 100 percent on its Corporate Equality Index, making it the fifth consecutive year and eighth year overall that SOA has earned top marks on the nation's foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality.

'A commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is a key value that makes us more than a car company, and we are proud to be recognized once again by CEI as a Best Place to Work,' said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc. 'We look forward to continuing to advance diversity, cultivate equality and to live the Subaru Love Promise, our vision to show love and respect to all people at every interaction with Subaru.'

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; and,

•Corporate social responsibility.

For five consecutive years, Subaru has satisfied all CEI criteria and earned a 100 percent ranking, rendering the automaker as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.

'From the previously unimaginable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, to a long overdue reckoning with racial injustice, 2020 was an unprecedented year. Yet, many businesses across the nation stepped up and continued to prioritize and champion LGBTQ equality,' said Alphonso David, Human Rights Campaign President. 'This year has shown us that tools like the CEI are crucial in the work to increase equity and inclusion in the workplace, but also that companies must breathe life into these policies and practices in real and tangible ways. Thank you to the companies that understand protecting their LGBTQ employees and consumers from discrimination is not just the right thing to do—but the best business decision.'
