Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE: CUK) saw its shares sink early Thursday, as the world's largest cruise company today announced it has been recognized for the second consecutive year as one of the Best Companies for Latinos to Work in 2022 by Latino Leaders Magazine. Latino Leaders is the only national magazine in the U.S. fully dedicated to showcasing and promoting leadership in the Latino community.
The latest recognition was published in the magazine's February 2022 edition.
The Latino Leaders 2022 index recognizes the top 30 U.S. companies across various industries – including manufacturing, hospitality, health, finance, and food and beverage – based on a detailed methodology that included several major focus areas for diversity such as community outreach, strong recruitment, career advancement opportunities, senior-level diversity leadership, and an equitable and inclusive work environment.
"Our ongoing focus to create one of the best places to work is reflected in our highest responsibility and top priority, which is compliance, environmental protection and the health, safety and well-being of our guests, the people in the communities we visit, and our shipboard and shoreside personnel," said Roger Frizzell, chief communications officer for Carnival Corporation,
"We take great pride in our commitment to providing a positive and supportive work environment for all of our colleagues and business partners, and our ongoing focus on the power of diversity as a driver of innovation and competitive advantage in the marketplace."
