State Street Honored for Diversity and Inclusion Work
State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) announced today that it has received several honors for its diversity and inclusion work
from the Association of ERGs & Councils, Working Mother magazine and OUTstanding.
The Association of ERGs & Councils presented State Street with its 2017 ERG & Council Honors Award™ in recognition of
its Professional Women’s Network (PWN). The award is the only annual, national award that recognizes and honors the outstanding
contributions and achievements of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), Business Resource Groups (BRGs) and Diversity Councils. This is
the second consecutive year that State Street’s PWN has been recognized by the association. “The 2017 ERG & Council Honors
Award recipients are a diverse combination of US organizations representing most sectors, geographies and sizes,” stated Fernando
Serpa, executive director of the Association of ERGs & Councils. “We had a record increase in applications this year
representing 1,330 ERGs, BRGs, Diversity Councils and their chapters. This is by far the most competitive and exciting field to
date.”
State Street’s PWN has 12 chapters, spanning 26 offices globally, and focuses on networking, developing public speaking and
other professional skills. The group is the largest employee network at State Street with more than 4,000 members.
State Street was also recently named to Working Mother magazine’s “100 Best Companies” list in the US and India in recognition
of its history of creating progressive programs for its workforce in the areas of advancement of women, work flexibility, childcare
and paid parental leave. This is the fourth year State Street has been included on the list in the US.
In addition, four of State Street’s executives have been honored by OUTstanding, a professional network for LGBT+ executives and
their allies.
State Street Chief Marketing Officer Hannah Grove and Kim Newell Chebator, executive vice president and Chief Administrative
Officer in Europe, Middle East and Africa, were named to OUTstanding’s LGBT Leading Ally Executives list. Steven Chan, managing
director and regional head of regulatory, industry and government affairs in Asia Pacific was named to the Leading LGBT+ Executives
list, and Marion Bentata, assistant vice president in Credit Risk EMEA and APAC, was named to the Future Leader list. The
executives were named to the lists in recognition of their support and leadership in the LGBT community. The lists, presented by
the Financial Times, were compiled through nominations from peers and clients.
“We firmly believe that more diverse organizations yield better business results,” said Kathy Horgan chief human resources and
citizenship officer for State Street. “Employee resource groups and work-life supports are pivotal in attracting and developing a
diverse and inclusive workforce. To be recognized again by these programs for something that is so important to us is a tremendous
honor and we’re committed to continual improvement in these areas.”
