A prominent healthcare enterprise dedicated to promoting healthier lives among individuals, announced today that it has been honored as one of the Top 50 Companies for Diversity by Fair360 (formerly DiversityInc) for the fifth consecutive year. Climbing 11 spots from last year, Centene secured the No. 26 position on this esteemed list. The evaluation scrutinizes the nation’s largest employers based on comprehensive, data-driven diversity and inclusion metrics across six pivotal areas: leadership accountability, human capital metrics, talent programs, workforce practices, supplier fairness, and philanthropy.
“We understand that our diverse customer base is best served when our workforce mirrors and actively engages with the communities we serve,” remarked Sarah M. London, Chief Executive Officer of Centene. “It’s a source of immense pride that Centene has once again been recognized as one of Fair360’s Top 50 Companies for Diversity, reaffirming our steadfast commitment to nurturing an employee base that deeply empathizes with the needs and perspectives of our members.”
Centene’s commendable inclusion in Fair360’s specialty ranking lists further underscores its dedication to diversity and inclusion initiatives. The company secured the No. 7 spot for Top Companies for Talent Acquisition for Women of Color, No. 9 for Top Companies for Executive Women, and No. 18 for Top Companies for People with Disabilities.
In line with its mission to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles into its operations, Centene recently released its Sustainability & DEI Report: Healthy Futures, Diverse Horizons. This report highlights the company’s ongoing endeavors to provide high-quality, culturally sensitive healthcare to its vast membership base of over 28 million individuals nationwide.
Today’s accolade adds to a string of recent awards recognizing Centene’s unwavering commitment to DEI initiatives. Notably, Centene was acknowledged by Forbes magazine as one of “America’s Best Employers for Diversity 2024” and designated as one of “America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2024” by Newsweek, both for the second consecutive year. Furthermore, the company earned a spot on the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the fourth consecutive year and was honored as one of 2024’s World’s Most Admired Companies for the sixth consecutive year by Fortune.
