Dear Friends,
More than ever, consumers are sending a message to businesses that they are
watching. They are watching to see if the businesses they patronize understand
and honor issues important to them, giving buying power to issues ranging from
LGBT inclusiveness to environmental protection. Corporate social responsibility
has become an imperative for a successful business. With Buying for Workplace
Equality, we hope to harness that power by providing you with the most accurate
review of a business’s workplace policies toward LGBT employees.
From offering benefits to domestic partners to extending workplace protections
to transgender workers, there is a tidal wave of business support for LGBT
workplace inclusion. This year’s guide includes results from the 2011 Corporate
Equality Index, which features 337 businesses — a record number — that
scored a perfect 100 percent.
Whether you are buying a cup of coffee or renovating your home, by supporting
businesses that support workplace equality you send a powerful message that
LGBT inclusion is good for the bottom line. We hope that you will use this guide
as one component when determining if a business’s social practices make it
worthy of your dollars.
The Buying for Workplace Equality guide is also available in
web and mobile versions. For more information, visit
www.hrc.org/buyersguide.
Sincerely,
Joe Solmonese
President, Human Rights Campaign
QUESTIONS
ANSWERS
2
Where do the scores in this guide
come from?
The information in this guide comes from the
2011 Corporate Equality Index, the Human Rights
Campaign’s annual report card on corporate
America’s treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender employees.
How are the scores calculated?
Businesses are rated on a scale from 0 to 100,
based on whether or not they have policies that support LGBT employees. These include anti-discrimination protections, domestic partner benefits,
diversity training and transgender-inclusive benefits.
This year we provided an unofficial score to businesses that have not, after repeated attempts,
responded to the survey. An unofficial score is
reflective of the information that HRC has been able
to collect without help or input from a business.
Why don’t I see a business listed?
The Human Rights Campaign researches policies
at more than 1,800 companies (including the Fortune 1000 and American Lawyer 200). However,
we do not provide a business with an official score
until we have collected and verified all the information we need. In all, we rated 615 companies in
the 2011 CEI.
How can I get a business listed?
Any business with 500 or more U.S. employees can
be rated. If you don’t see a company listed, contact
the Human Rights Campaign with any information
you have about its policies on LGBT issues. Or,
contact and motivate businesses to participate by
letting them know that you make purchasing decisions based on how it scored in this guide.
