Caleres Earns 100 Percent on Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s
Scorecard on LGBT Workplace Equality

ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Caleres,
a diverse portfolio of global footwear brands, proudly announced today
that it received a perfect score of 100 percent on the 2018 Corporate
Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on
corporate policies and practices related to LGBT workplace equality,
administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. Caleres joins the
ranks of 609 major U.S. businesses which also earned top marks this year.

“It’s an important honor for us to again be amongst the businesses
achieving 100 percent on the corporate equality index,” said Doug Koch,
senior vice president and chief human resources officer for Caleres. “We
believe our company should be as diverse as the consumers we serve and
we are proud to be recognized on this level for that.”

The 2018 CEI rated 947 businesses in the report, which evaluates
LGBTQ-related policies and practices including non-discrimination
workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive
health care benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the
LGBTQ community. Caleres’ efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s
criteria results in a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best
Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation is the educational arm of
