EPAM Mexico Receives a Perfect Score for its Dedication to Equality and Inclusion in the Workplace

EPAM Mexico achieved a perfect 100 out of 100 score from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation [HRCF] in its 8th annual Corporate Equality Index, representing its full commitment to inclusion and excellence in the workplace.

“At EPAM, being the home of modern engineers isn’t just about having the right tools and growth opportunities,” adds Kate Pretkel, VP, Special People Programs at EPAM. “It’s about fostering an environment where diverse perspectives — across backgrounds, skills and knowledge — come together to solve complex challenges. When we truly listen to and value each other's voice, we unlock innovation, challenge the status quo, embrace new ways of thinking and build a stronger, more adaptable organization.”

Diversity, equity and inclusion are key to accomplishing EPAM’s goal of creating a safe space for everyone to thrive and do their best work. Together, EPAM acts as one team, prioritizing collaboration and teamwork and appreciating the differences that make us better. Embracing differences ultimately helps the organization shape ideas that will lead to tech innovation.

“Inclusion makes sense for a business, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because it fosters innovative, exciting points of view for clients, and that's what they want and expect from us,” shares Larry Solomon, SVP, Chief People Officer at EPAM.

The Human Rights Campaign

The Human Rights Campaign is dedicated to expanding and protecting the rights of the LGBTQ+ populations worldwide, promoting multiple anti-discrimination initiatives. For more than 40 years, they have been on a quest to ensure equality for everyone. The idea is simple: to create a better world where everyone can be themselves without discrimination of any inherent characteristic.

As part of this mission, they created the Corporate Equality Index, a benchmarking tool for corporate policies, practices, and benefits pertinent to LGBTQ+ employees. More than 1,300 companies participated in the initiative during 2023-2024. Of those, 545 companies, including EPAM, achieved the highly desired “Equality 100 award,” which represents a full commitment to inclusion and a truly excellent workplace for everyone.

Mexico is for Everyone

EPAM Mexico is thrilled to join this impressive list again in 2025, which validates its successful non-discrimination policies. This demonstrated focus on education and onboarding policies ensures that everyone joining the team understands that diversity, equity and inclusion are top priorities for all employees.

A glowing perfect score from HRCF shows EPAM Mexico’s commitment to being a great place for everyone, which includes how promotions are handled and leadership’s influence on inclusivity efforts.

"Different perspectives allow us to create environments where everybody can be part of the conversation,” shares Jaime Aldana, Senior Director and Mexico Country Head. “Diversity gets us closer to this goal."

EPAM Mexico’s commitment to DEI is not limited to internal practices. The team creates a safe space publicly by participating in events such as Pride demonstrations nationwide and highlighting DEI initiatives on social media and other external communication channels.

EPAM is for everyone, and we want the world to know it.
