Best Buy : Named a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality for 16th Year

For the 16^th year, Best Buy has achieved a 100% rating on the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC's) Corporate Equality Index, earning the distinction of being a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.

We are proud of this meaningful recognition, which reflects our continued, long-term commitment to workplace equality.

Best Buy's Pride Employee Resource Group (ERG), whose membership has grown 70% over the past year, continues to champion new ways to foster an inclusive environment for LGBTQIA+ employees. As part of the Workplace Transition and Gender Identity Toolkit, the company completed system enhancements that allow preferred names to be displayed across various customer and internal-facing systems.

Our inclusive benefits offerings also continue to grow, with the addition of caregiver leave, adoption and surrogacy benefits. And Best Buy was the first company to sponsor Our Gay History in 50 States.

The annual HRC Corporate Equality Index is the leading benchmark on how companies take action every day to achieve workplace equality for LGBTQIA+ employees.

HRC evaluates a company's policies and practices and considers factors, including:

• Nondiscrimination workplace protections for sexual orientation and gender identity
• Parity between same and different-sex spousal and partner benefits
• Transgender-inclusive health care coverage
• Support for an inclusive culture
• Public engagement with the LGBTQIA+ community
• A company's overall corporate social responsibility

We are proud to once again achieve a perfect 100% across all categories this year.

As always, our work toward workplace equality and inclusion continues. In the meantime, clickhere to learn more about Pride at Best Buy.
