Carnival Corporation has been named for the second consecutive year as one of the World's Top Female-Friendly Companies of 2022 by Forbes. The recognition builds on a series of other distinguished honors Carnival Corporation has earned this year from the leading source of business news for companywide operations and dedication to diversity, equity and inclusion, including the World's Best Employers of 2022 and Best Employers for Diversity for 2022.

Presented by Forbes and Statista Inc. the annual listing of the top female-friendly organizations recognizes top-performing multinational companies in a worldwide survey of 85,000 female workers, and companies with proven gender equality performance with significant representation of women in leadership positions.

Carnival Corporation was ranked among the top 400 female-friendly global companies and was the only cruise company recognized this year. 

"We are proud to be named alongside other distinguished organizations that are champions for the support of women leaders, and we applaud all of the collective efforts being made globally to accelerate inclusion and diversity in the workplace," said Bettina Deynes, global chief human resources officer for Carnival Corporation. "We are focused on promoting diversity, equity and inclusion at all levels of our organization, and we are honored to once again be recognized by Forbes as it underscores our commitment to foster a positive and inclusive workplace that supports our talented and diverse employees, while providing equal opportunity and a strong sense of belonging for all."

The Forbes World's Top Female-Friendly Companies ranking was determined through a global independent survey of approximately 85,000 women across 36 total countries. Employees were asked to anonymously evaluate their company performance across a broad range of gender-related topics, as well as overall workplace satisfaction and willingness to recommend it, while also providing recommendations for other employers in their industry. Additionally, each company was evaluated based on publicly available information on female representation in leadership positions and through a women-only public opinion, survey to measure perceptions of companies in relation to gender equity. 

In addition to several recent honors from Forbes this year, Carnival Corporation was named one of the Best Companies for Latinos by Latino Leaders Magazine and earned a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2022 Corporate Equality Index, designating the company as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality for the sixth consecutive year.

Diversity and inclusion have long been priorities at Carnival Corporation. The company is proud to employ a diverse workforce of people from more than 100 countries and has intentionally engineered opportunities for hiring, growth and advancement of women by championing all forms of diversity, including gender, ethnicity, background, upbringing, education, geographic origin and experience. Dynamic female leaders today are represented in top leadership roles throughout the company, including presidents of several of Carnival Corporation's operating companies and cruise line brands, and in key roles within global port and destination development, human resources, marketing, sales, communications, operations and finance.
