Siemens Healthineers Scores 100 in Human Rights Campaign’s 2024-25 Corporate Equality Index

Siemens Healthineers has once again received a full score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s 2024-25 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) in the U.S. The HRC’s CEI is a national benchmarking tool that focuses on corporate policies, practices and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees. Siemens Healthineers joins the 765 U.S. businesses that will be honored with HRCF’s Equality 100 Award as Leaders in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion. This year’s CEI includes 1,449 businesses – the highest number of rated companies since the start of the CEI in 2002.

HRC’s CEI annually evaluates and rates participating companies on detailed and ever-evolving criteria falling under four crucial pillars:

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

Siemens Healthineers’ efforts in satisfying all the CEI’s criteria earned a score of 100 and the designation as recipient of the Equality 100 Award: Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion. The full CEI report is available online at www.hrc.org/cei.

"We take great pride in our efforts to foster a diverse and inclusive environment at Siemens Healthineers," said David Pacitti, president and head of the Americas. “We believe that true inclusion fuels innovation, collaboration, and trust, enabling us to better serve our employees, customers, and communities. This commitment is reflected not only in our internal policies but also in our partnerships and outreach efforts, which aim to create meaningful change beyond our organization.”

In addition to its focus on LGBTQ+ equality, Siemens Healthineers devotes significant resources to support diversity, equity and inclusion efforts across the company in the U.S. and internationally, as outlined in our recent Sustainability Report 2024.

“Equality is a persistent goal and we remain dedicated to creating a future where everyone can thrive, free of barriers or bias. Our business practices and company values are built on a deep respect for human rights, which form the foundation of our code of conduct and principles for collaboration.”
