The CEI measures participating companies’ policies and practices related to the LGBTQ+ community in areas like workforce protections, inclusive benefits, inclusive culture and corporate social responsibility.

RRNA has a wide variety of benefits supporting the LGBTQ+ community including health coverage for same-sex spouses/partners and adoption benefits, among others. The company also has a mentoring and reverse mentoring program for its LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies.

RRNA has a comprehensive employee resource group programme supporting several different dimensions of diversity and promoting inclusion for all employees. The company also has an active presence in the community supporting Pride Month in the U.S. and International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).

“The culture we have at Rolls-Royce really matters,” said Kelsey Mitchell, Chair of the Propel with Pride Employee Resource Group at RRNA.

“We’ve set the standard that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and to be 100% themselves at work – anything less is unacceptable. We are eager to keep that momentum going in 2022.”
