HRC's Corporate Equality Index
Every year, the Human Rights Campaign surveys major corporations in the United States to see how well (or how badly) these companies treat their lesbian, gay, bi & transgendered employees.
Click for the report.
This year, 138 companies earned a perfect score. I'm happy to report my employer was one of them.
This is largely a good news report: gains were made in almost all categories and in almost all economic sectors. Muck-raker that I am, I was mostly interested in founding out who the slackers were in the ratings. This was rather difficult to do, as the appendices sort the ranked companies multiple ways but ironically not by their actual equality index score. The "dirt" is actually in a few paragraphs on page 8 where we find that Exxon-Mobil, Perot Systems and Meijer Inc. each scored a perfect 0.
Other bottom-feeders include Archers Daniels Midland (15), Baklor Electric (15), Bayer (15), CBRL Group (15), Entergy Corp (13), Genuine Parts Co (15), H.J. Heinz (15), KB Home (15), Lauren Manufacturing (5), Nestle Purina PetCare (15), Newell Rubbermaid (15), Nissan North America (15) and Praxair (25).
