Visteon earned the top rating of 100 percent in the 2009 Corporate
Equality Index (CEI), an annual survey administered by the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation. Visteon was one of eight automotive companies and the
only first-tier auto supplier among the 259 U.S.-based companies earning top
marks for their treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees.
Separately, Visteon received a Corporate ONE Award from the Michigan
Minority Business Development Council (MMBDC) for the company's supplier
diversity program, which drives procurement opportunities with minority
business owners. This is the third year Visteon has earned the award, which is
given to less than 10 percent of the MMBDC's corporate members. Criteria for
the award include having an established minority/diversity supplier
development program, reporting minority purchases quarterly, and belonging to
MMBDC's Corporate ONE, an initiative to aid minority businesses in becoming
competitive bidders for corporate contracts.
"We are proud to be recognized for our commitment to maintaining an
environment in which all employees and business partners are treated with
respect," said Donald J. Stebbins, Visteon president and chief executive
officer. "We work to foster an inclusive environment that provides equal
opportunity to our employees, customers, suppliers and the community at
large."

supplier diversity. Visteon previously was named one of the top 50 companies
for diversity by DiversityInc., a prominent diversity business magazine.
