OVERVIEW

Since its inception in 2016, the pioneering HRC Equidad MX: Global Workplace Equality Program has experienced outstanding success in promoting LGBTQ+ equality and inclusion among Mexican businesses and corporations. The initiative was designed to help employers become LGBTQ+ inclusive by assessing corporate practices and policies through our annual survey. The results of the latest HRC Equidad MX Report attest to the unprecedented growth of the program; this year, a record number of companies were recognized with the HRC Foundation's designation of “Best Places to Work for the LGBTQ+ Equality” or Mejores Lugares para Trabajar LGBT reflecting their ongoing commitment to LGBTQ+ equality and adoption of vital policies for LGBTQ+ employees.

The Mexico-based initiative, inspired by HRC's annual Corporate Equality Index (CEI) — the national leading benchmarking tool on corporate LGBTQ+ inclusive policies and practices — is HRC's first in-country program in Latin America. Equidad MX's success spurred on the establishment of three additional workplace equality programs to date: HRC Equidad CL in Chile, HRC Equidad AR in Argentina, and HRC Equidade BR in Brazil.
