The Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR) has announced the launch of its annual Corporate Inclusion Index (CII) survey to drive Hispanic inclusion in corporate America. The survey will remain open until 5 March 2025.
A flagship initiative, the HACR Corporate Inclusion Index provides corporate leaders with a strategic framework to assess Hispanic inclusion across four key pillars: Employment, Procurement, Governance, and Philanthropy. Participation in the survey is free, with results rigorously analysed and published in October during Hispanic Heritage Month.
Top-performing companies will be recognised with the prestigious HACR 5-Stars Award, presented during the 33rd Annual HACR Symposium: The Power of Hispanic Inclusion, on 13-15 October in New York City. These awards honour outstanding efforts in economic reciprocity through equitable corporate practices that align with HACR’s mission of achieving full Hispanic inclusion in Corporate America.
“The HACR Corporate Inclusion Index is an indispensable resource for visionary leaders committed to understanding, including and serving the rapidly growing Hispanic community,” stated Dr Gabriela Martinez-Stevenson, HACR Research Specialist.
EMBRACING HISPANIC INCLUSION
The 2025 survey provides returning participants with insights into their progress, while new participants gain a critical baseline to guide their Hispanic inclusion strategies.
Since its inception in 2009, the HACR Corporate Inclusion Index has been a trusted resource, fostering accountability and transparency in Hispanic inclusion practices. The 2024 report, published during a critical moment of renewed scrutiny on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, showcased corporate practices in a rapidly shifting landscape.
“As US demographics evolve, embracing Hispanic inclusion is no longer optional; it is essential. The CII offers companies a clear path to move beyond good intentions and toward measurable, impactful change,” shared HACR President and CEO Cid Wilson.
