DoorDash received a 100% rating on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation's Corporate Equality Index.
The California-based ordering and delivery platform was named a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality by HRC, DoorDash reported in a release.
"Pride@DoorDash brings together the LGBTQ+ community and their allies at DoorDash, helping to build a company where all employees feel seen and respected in order to do incredible work every day on behalf of our customers," Elizabeth Jarvis-Shean, Pride@DoorDash executive sponsor and vice president of communications and policy, said in the release. "The Pride@ ERG is a driving force within the DoorDash community and has helped bring important initiatives to life for our LGBTQ+ employees and communities. At over 800 members today, this group of employees has fostered a culture of inclusivity that will continue to scale and make us better as DoorDash grows."
The Pride@ employee resource group (ERG) launched in 2018 has made several noteworthy contributions to DoorDash's operations, DoorDash reported. These contributions include the following.
"The company-wide effort to display personal pronouns; hosting events and educational sessions on the experiences of those in the Queer community; working closely with leadership to build more inclusive restrooms in our new and existing offices; and introducing more LGBTQ+-friendly employee benefits, including coverage for egg freezing procedures, adoption & surrogacy fees, hormone therapy, and more," DoorDash reported.
DoorDash launched the consumer campaign Every Flavor Welcome in 2021 and continues to support efforts supporting the LGBTQ community, including through legislation, DoorDash reported.
"As a company, we officially endorsed the Equality Act and filed an amicus brief before the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold equality in the workplace and condemn discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity," DoorDash reported. "We have also partnered with the GLBT Historical Society to educate our customers on the history of some of the LGBTQ+ communities we serve, as well as launching collaborations with LGBTQ+ owned stores, and establishing marketing initiatives to drive visibility for them."
To continue and deepen its commitment to promoting a more inclusive workplace and community, DoorDash is slated to become a national corporate partner with HRC, DoorDash reported.
