“U. S. Steel’s fifth perfect Corporate Equality Index score and 2025 Equality 100 Award validate the success of our efforts to foster diversity and inclusion across our organization,” said U. S. Steel Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, Michael Williams. “It matters – not only because an inclusive work environment enhances our ability to deliver sustainable steel solutions that are best for people and planet, but also because ensuring that every employee feels valued and accepted just as they are allows them to bring the best of themselves to work every day.”
The HRCF’s Equality 100 Award is one more recognition of U. S. Steel’s unwavering commitment to its Culture of Caring, a framework for cultivating workplaces where every employee can thrive and where each person feels included and valued, safe and protected, seen and heard. Beyond just a business strategy, it is a business imperative at the forefront of the senior leadership agenda and substantially supported by employee resource groups (ERGs) like SteelPRIDE, whose members vigorously champion all those in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community, ensuring their dignity, respect, and inclusivity in all U. S. Steel workplaces.
“A critical component of U. S. Steel's corporate strategy is the recruitment and development of skilled individuals from varied backgrounds. The company fosters professional growth and enables employees to achieve their maximum potential while maintaining their authenticity,” said Mona Dine, General Manager, Corporate Human Resources & Chief Diversity Officer. “We are delighted to have earned our fifth consecutive perfect score on the HRCF’s Corporate Equality Index and to be recognized as an organization that year-on-year is meeting the ever-changing needs of the LGBTQ+ community, achievements that are greatly assisted by our SteelPRIDE ERG.”
As the leading national benchmarking tool for measuring policies, practices, and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer employees, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index is a primary driving force for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion.
