Fifth Third Earns Highest Marks in Human Rights Campaign’s 2023 Corporate Equality Index

Perfect score for the eighth consecutive year marks commitment to LGBTQ+ workplace equality

Fifth Third Bancorp received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality. Fifth Third joins the ranks of 545 U.S. companies that earned a 100 score and designated a 2023 “Equality 100: Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion” award recipient.

“We’re committed to championing workplace equality because we recognize that individual talents create our collective success,” said Nancy Pinckney, chief human resources officer. “We focus intently on helping our employees thrive in a workplace where every voice matters so that we can continue to make a difference in the lives of our customers, communities and co-workers.”

“Fifth Third is committed to being a leader in diversity and inclusion, one of our six bold goals through 2025,” said Stephanie A. Smith, senior vice president and chief inclusion officer. “For eight consecutive years now, Fifth Third has received a score of 100 on the CEI. We’re continually striving to evolve our workplace practices to ensure we have an equitable and inclusive environment at Fifth Third where everyone can be their authentic self.”

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 well over two decades, businesses have played an important role in furthering LGBTQ+ equality by centering employee needs and voices when it comes to workplace inclusion,” said RaShawn Hawkins, Human Rights Campaign Senior Director of Workplace Equality. “While there is much more work to be done, year-over-year growth in CEI participation is evidence of a business community that recognizes the responsibility and value in upholding equity and inclusion.”
