One Employee’s Experience Working and Living Openly Gay in AT&T’s Proud, Award-Winning Workspace
Honoring AT&T’s 11th consecutive 100% rating on the Human Rights Campaign’s annual Corporate Equality Index, Scott Sapperstein, Executive Director of Public Affairs at AT&T, expressed his gratitude for AT&T’s focus on equality and inclusion.
“As an openly gay executive director at AT&T, I experience AT&T’s commitment to equality and inclusion firsthand; my story as an employee is special because it is unremarkable,” said Sapperstein. “From the day I joined AT&T 13 years ago, AT&T fostered an environment where I feel comfortable to share who I am.”

AT&T received the coveted award due to its ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
“When you have a culture where everyone can bring their full selves to work each day, it’s amazing what happens,” said Debbie Storey, AT&T senior vice president of talent development and chief diversity officer. “At AT&T we’ve long known that inclusion drives innovation – and that a truly inclusive culture is defined by its action, policies, and accountability practices. HRC understands that too, which is why this recognition is so meaningful to us.”
