"Henry Schein has long embraced diversity and inclusion as core values, so it is a tremendous
honor to be recognized for our commitment to LGBTQ workplace equality by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation," said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry
Schein. "This honor is a testament to our Team Schein culture, and serves to reinforce our dedication to developing our
workforce, strengthening our business, and using our commonalities and differences to leverage and enhance our effectiveness
inside and outside our Company."
The 2019 CEI 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. Henry Schein's 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 top-scoring companies on this year's CEI are not only establishing policies that affirm and include employees here in
the United States, they are applying these policies to their global operations and impacting
millions of people beyond our shores," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "Many of these companies
have also become vocal advocates for equality in the public square, including the dozens that have signed on to amicus briefs in
vital Supreme Court cases and the more than 170 that have joined HRC's Business Coalition for the Equality Act. Time and again,
leading American businesses have shown that protecting their employees and customers from discrimination isn't just the right
thing to do -- it's also good for business."

equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ people are embraced as full
members of society at home, at work, and in every community.
