KIMCO Realty scored a 100 out of 100 on the 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a political stakeholder group. By complying with the HRC’s controversial demands, KIMCO Realty Corp. (Kimco), increases the risk of dividing employees, alienating customers and harming shareholders. The company provides a benefits package for employees which covers transgender medical procedures for covered employees and dependents, including children. It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, marketing, and philanthropic support. KIMCO forces employees to undergo multiple ideological trainings and uses its reputation, corporate funds, and political influence to support controversial sex and gender ideologies, organizations, and legislation. The company appears to prioritize diversity over merit in its hiring and promotions by taking a "pledge to increase diversity in management". KIMCO provides unconscious bias training for all its employees. The company is aligned with the Paris Agreement, which entails a commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. KIMCO’s CEO, Conor Flynn, signed the CEO Actions for Diversity and Inclusion pledge, which includes a commitment to promote DEI through bias education training within the workplace. For these reasons, KIMCO Realty Corporation receives a High Risk rating.
