"Fostering an inclusive culture and a sense of belonging for our colleagues empowers them to contribute their best ideas and bring their true selves to work each day."
In 2002, the first year of the CEI, only 13 companies achieved a top-score. A record-breaking 842 businesses earned 100 percent on the 2022 CEI and the designation of being one of the "Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality," demonstrating the incredible impact the CEI has had on the business world over the last 20 years.
The CEI report measures performance across four categories, from the adoption of inclusive non-discrimination policies and equitable healthcare benefits for transgender employees to supporting an inclusive culture and corporate social responsibility. Thermo Fisher’s perfect score of 100 is based on its commitment to success within each of these important areas.
