BURLINGTON, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Labcorp (NYSE: LH), a leading global life sciences company, today announced that it received a perfect 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.


“Labcorp is honored by this important recognition for the fifth consecutive year,” said Brenda Velasquez Wagner, Labcorp’s chief diversity and inclusion officer. “This is a reflection of our business practices to support workplace equality, but more importantly, it reflects our belief that Labcorp’s diverse base of mission-driven employees worldwide is core to our ability to innovate, meet customer needs, and improve health and improve lives.”

Labcorp’s efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria earned a 100% ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality. The CEI rates companies and top law firms 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.
