"Multiple Companies Achieve Perfect Scores on LGBTQ+ Advocacy Group's Index"

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation awarded 545 companies a perfect score on its annual Corporate Equality Index, which evaluates U.S. based companies on their policies for LGBTQ+ equality. Over 800 companies scored at least 90 out of 100 points. The index, which began in 2002 with only 13 companies earning the highest score, now reflects a growing commitment to diversity and inclusion. Companies such as 3M, Coca-Cola, JPMorgan Chase, and Salesforce were among those with top scores. The index expanded its focus this year to include LGBTQ+ family formation rights and transgender-inclusive healthcare. Despite challenges and protests, companies recognize that supporting LGBTQ+ equality is not only the right thing to do but also beneficial for their bottom line.
