I’m standing up for what’s right.
I am Kirt Walker, President and COO of Nationwide Financial®. I’m also executive sponsor of Pride, a Nationwide associate resource group that helps promote fellowship and greater acceptance of Nationwide’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender associates.
Not many companies support equal rights for all people the way we do.
- We’ve earned a perfect score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index for seven consecutive years
- We’re the new Platinum Partner of the Human Rights Campaign. The HRC is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) equality.
- We were the first major company in central Ohio to provide domestic
partner benefits for our associates
- We publicly opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in Ohio and
publicly supported the Employment Non-Discrimination Act
We take a strong stand on diversity and inclusiveness.
We believe it’s the right thing to do.
