News Reports
I found it quite interesting to compare the results of Equality Forum’s Fortune 500 Project and the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. According to Equality Forum, 92.2% of Fortune 500 companies protect their employees from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Of the 39 companies on the list for not providing this coverage, only Cooper Tire & Rubber and Exxon-Mobil are on the CEI at all. But I still think the HRC publication is better - EF’s index just tells who has a non-discrimination policy, while HRC’s index actually breaks down various parts of such a policy (domestic partner benefits, gender expression protection). I’m going to stick with the CEI but I did think it was interesting to see the two different reports.
