Top Law Firms for Equality | 2018 TOP LAW FIRMS FOR EQUALITY | 2018 Since 2002, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI) has surveyed major businesses to benchmark important employer benefits and protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees and their families as well as demonstrated corporate commitment to LGBTQ equality. Law firms have been surveyed as part of the CEI since 2006. This year, 160 law firms, including a majority of American Lawyer 200 firms, participated in the CEI. Of these firms, 127 received a perfect 100- percent score, establishing law firms as the most represented industry among participants receiving a perfect score. Another 16 firms scored above 90. The HRC Foundation not only tracks law firms’ progress, but also actively works with diversity managers and partnership committees, as well as with LGBTQ attorneys, to implement inclusive policies at the nation’s most prestigious firms. The CEI rates law firms on 40 specific policies and practicites. To achieve a perfect score and the coveted distinction of “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality,” firms must have fully- inclusive equal employment opportunity policies, provide equal employment benefits, demonstrate organizational LGBTQ competency, evidence their commitment to equality publicly and implement internal guidelines prohibiting philanthropic giving to organizations that discriminate against LGBTQ people. The 2018 Corporate Equality Index rated a total of 947 private employers in various industries. The full report is available at www.hrc.org/cei.

  • The Clorox Company Earns Fourth Consecutive 100 Percent Rating on Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index
    NEWS RELEASE The Clorox Company Earns Fourth Consecutive 100 Percent Rating on Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index 9/15/2009 OAKLAND, Calif., September 15, 2009 - The Clorox Company (NYSE:CLX) today announced its fourth consecutive year of earning a top rating of 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index. The index, which was published on Sept. 14, is a nationally recognized measure of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) equality in the workplace. Commenting on this recognition, Clorox Chairman and CEO Don Knauss said, "At Clorox, we believe it doesn't matter if you're black or white, gay or straight, tall or short. What matters is the kind of human being you are - your character. Sexual orientation, gender identity, expression or characteristics are not differences that should matter except for the richness and diversity of thought and experience they bring to our company. If people are disenfranchised for these reasons - or any other - it limits the genius of an organization. That's why Clorox actively promotes an environment that celebrates diversity - that makes it comfortable and safe for each person to bring his or her whole self to work every day. We're pleased our rating on the Corporate Equality Index reflects this commitment." Clorox's 100 percent rating is a result of its policies supporting GLBT equality, such as a nondiscrimination policy that includes sexual orientation, gender identity or expression; benefits to employees with same-sex partners; and an employer-supported GLBT employee resource group. The company also supports key GLBT organizations such as Out & Equal Workplace Advocates.

Today, in 2012, it is very essential for corporates based in India to come out of the illusion that they have no LGBTQ employees on board, and create a positive environment for them to come out in. I definitely suggest every Corporate HR, Talent Acquisition, and D&I team should read the 'Creating Inclusive Workplaces for LGBT Employees in India' resource guide while shaping policies that help create a more inclusive and supportive work environment for all.” Tushar M, Operations Head (India) Equal India Alliance For more information on Equal India Alliance go to: www.equalindiaalliance.org Creating Inclusive “The business case for LGBT inclusion in India is real and gaining momentum.
