MUFG Union Bank Earns Perfect Score on Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index for Fourth Consecutive Year

Bank Named Top Place to Work for LGBT Equality

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MUFG Union Bank announced today that it has achieved a perfect score of
100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) 2017 Corporate Equality
Index (CEI). MUFG Union Bank has consistently achieved high marks in the
CEI, and this year marks the fourth consecutive year that MUFG Union
bank has earned a perfect score.

“We are proud of our efforts to create an inclusive, diverse workplace
that honors the unique contributions of all individuals, regardless of
sexual orientation,” said Steve Cummings, President and CEO of MUFG
Union Bank. “We’re delighted that the Human Rights Campaign has chosen
to acknowledge us for the fourth year in a row, and we’re proud of our
legacy as a corporate leader in supporting LGBT equality.”

MUFG Union Bank prides itself on its investment in a diverse, inclusive
workplace. Half of MUFG Union Bank’s workforce is composed of women and
people of color, and the bank has one of the most inclusive corporate
boards in American banking, with 60% of its board members being women
and/or people of color. In addition, the bank makes significant
investments in community development finance, diverse business lending
and supplier diversity.

Another example of MUFG Union Bank’s commitment to the LGBT community
and its employees is Pride Alliance, one of the bank’s employee resource
groups. Pride Alliance reinforces the bank’s commitment to valuing and
leveraging inclusion and diversity in order to build a premier workforce
and strengthen business. It also encourages relationship building and
support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and ally communities.
For example, the bank participates in various LGBT Pride celebrations,
and supports numerous LGBT community and non-profit organizations,
including a long-standing partnership with the Financial Services
Industry Exchange (FSIX).

MUFG Union Bank attributes its commitment to LGBT rights to the
company’s corporate ethos, which aims to mentor, hire and retain
top-talent from all backgrounds.

“As one of the leading banks in the United States and the world, we
benefit from our dedication to creating a welcoming, diverse workspace
that values recruiting and promoting those with different viewpoints and
experiences,” said Mike Sebring, Head of Inclusion and Diversity for the
Americas at MUFG Union Bank. “This energetic approach to diversity
allows us to continually innovate and enhance the way we meet our
customers’ needs.” HRC’s Corporate Equality Index rated over 1,000
businesses in the report, which evaluates LGBT-related policies and
practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic
partner benefits, transgender-specific health care benefits, competency
programs, and public engagement with the LGBT community. Besides a
