TD SYNNEX Earns Top Score in Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 Corporate Equality Index

TD SYNNEX earns 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s annual assessment of LGBTQ+ workplace equality

TD SYNNEX, a leading distributor and solutions aggregator for the IT ecosystem that enables partners to unlock growth opportunities across over 100 countries, proudly announced that it received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality. TD SYNNEX joins the ranks of over 840 major U.S. businesses that also earned top marks this year.

Rich Hume, CEO of TD SYNNEX said, “We are thrilled to receive a 100 percent score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. Earning the top score is a great honor, and an especially proud moment for the newly merged TD SYNNEX. To receive this recognition further demonstrates our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace. We will continue to strive for inclusivity for all and thank the Human Rights Campaign for this recognition, and the work they do for the LGBTQ+ community.”

The results of the 2022 CEI showcase how 1,271 U.S.-based companies are not only promoting LGBTQ+-friendly workplace policies in the U.S., but also for the 56% of CEI-rated companies with global operations who are helping advance the cause of LGBTQ+ inclusion in workplaces abroad. TD SYNNEX’s efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria earned a 100 percent ranking and the designation as one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality. Prior to the TD SYNNEX merger, Tech Data earned perfect scores for their culture of equality for the last 14 years.

“I’m honored to have our efforts acknowledged, however, I’m cognizant that our journey to become a more equitable workplace for all our co-workers doesn’t end with this recognition,” said Jackie Darling, vice president of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. “As we begin 2022, we remain focused on building our inclusive culture; one where diversity is celebrated, unique identities are valued, and co-workers feel empowered to bring their true selves to work.”

In 2002, the first year of the CEI, only 13 companies achieved a top-score, demonstrating the incredible impact the CEI has had on the business world over its 20-year life. This year’s CEI reflects growth across every measurement category, from the adoption of inclusive non-discrimination policies to equitable healthcare benefits for transgender employees.

The CEI rates employers providing these crucial protections to over 20 million U.S. workers and an additional 18 million abroad. 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.

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.

“When the Human Rights Campaign Foundation created the Corporate Equality Index 20 years ago, we dreamed that LGBTQ+ workers—from the factory floor to corporate headquarters, in big cities and small towns—could have access to the policies and benefits needed to thrive and live life authentically,” said Jay Brown, senior vice president of Programs, Research and Training, Human Rights Campaign.

“We are proud that the Corporate Equality Index paved the way to that reality for countless LGBTQ+ workers in America and abroad. But there is still more to do, which is why we are raising the bar yet again to create more equitable workplaces and a better tomorrow for LGBTQ+ workers everywhere. Congratulations to TD SYNNEX for achieving the title of ‘best places to work for LGBTQ+ equality’ and working to advance inclusion in the workplace.”
