INTRODUCTION
As recently as a decade ago, it was a struggle to find 100“good” companies for lesbians or gay men to work for — andmany companies were placed on such lists merely because
they were making a small effort or weren’t overtly hostile.1
Today, thousands of employers large and small, for-profit andnon-profit, have instituted policies to protect lesbian and gay(and bisexual and transgender) workers from discrimination;
thousands have implemented domestic partner health insurance and other benefits. Many sanction and even encourage
GLBT employee resource groups and some actively seek ways
to contribute money to GLBT organizations and events. The
definition of workplace diversity has grown to encompass the
GLBT community, and many workplaces now include sexual
orientation and gender identity in their basic diversity andanti-harassment training.
Employers have taken these and other steps to attract andretain good employees and to market to the GLBT community (which is seen by some marketers as having a substantial
amount of disposable income).2 For these and other reasons,many GLBT employees, consumers and investors want toknow what a company’s policies are before they accept a job,
buy a product or invest their money. Many gay, lesbian andbisexual employees are understandably concerned about suchpolicies since it is legal to fire, refuse to hire or otherwise discriminate based on sexual orientation in 38 states.
Transgender employees are only protected from discrimination in six states and the District of Columbia.3 While heterosexual employees take for granted that their legal spouses
will receive insurance coverage and other benefits, GLBT
employees cannot assume their domestic partners will besimilarly covered.

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate
Equality Index is a simple and effective tool to rate large
American businesses (and U.S. subsidiaries of some large
foreign-based companies) on how they are treating theirgay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees, consumers and investors.
The index rates a company on a scale of 0 percent to 100
percent on whether it:
1. Has a written non-discrimination policy covering sexual orientation in its employee handbook or manual.
2. Has a written non-discrimination policy covering gender identity and/or expression in its employee handbook or manual.
3. Offers health insurance coverage to employees’ samesex domestic partners.
4. Officially recognizes and supports a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employee resource group or council or has a company policy that gives employee groups
equal standing regardless of sexual orientation andgender identity.
5. Offers diversity training that includes sexual orientation and/or gender expression in the workplace.
6. Engages in respectful and appropriate marketing to thelesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community
and/or provides support through its corporate foundation or otherwise to LGBT or AIDS-related organizations or events.
7. Engages in corporate action that would undermine thegoal of equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.4
Each factor was given equal weight in calculating the score.5
The HRC Corporate Equality Index grew out of the Gay
and Lesbian Values Index (glvIndex), which was created byauthor Grant Lukenbill and financial adviser Howard
Tharsing in 1993. HRC acquired the glvIndex in 2001,
renamed it and slightly modified the system. Like theglvIndex before it, the HRC Corporate Equality Index is
guided by the Equality Principles, 10 benchmarks for companies seeking to demonstrate a commitment to equal treatment of GLBT employees, consumers and investors. The
Equality Principles were developed in 1992 by the Equality

Project, a New York-based group that monitors the policies
of major corporations dealing with sexual orientation andgender identity in the workplace, and presses companies toimplement the progressive policies expressed in the Equality
Principles. (See Appendix 1).

METHODOLOGYThe 2002 HRC Corporate Equality Index rated 319 companies that were drawn from the following sources:> The 2002 Fortune 500> The 200 largest privately held companies from the 2001
Forbes Private 500> Other companies with at least 500 employees that sought
a CEI rating or about which HRC WorkNet had sufficient
information to derive a score.
The index was not applied to colleges and universities, government employers, non-profits or companies with fewer
than 500 employees.
Data were drawn from the following sources:> An HRC survey sent in January 2002 to human resourcesand diversity executives at Fortune 500 companies and the
top 200 privately held firms. Eighty-nine companies
answered the 2002 survey, for a response rate of 13 percent. Companies that did not immediately return the survey were mailed a reminder postcard. Companies that still
had not responded were telephoned by HRC and asked tocomplete the survey. (See Appendix 2 for a copy of thecomplete survey).
> The former glvIndex and glvReports.com, which conducted similar annual surveys of the same set of corporations
from 1993 until HRC acquired the index in 2001.
> HRC WorkNet, which since 1995 has collected information on U.S. employers and maintains the most accurate
and extensive database of policies regarding GLBT
employees.
> News accounts, employee resource groups, individuals andother LGBT advocacy organizations.
Companies were not rated until all appropriate information
had been gathered and verified. The data were also scrutinized by a panel of GLBT workplace advocates who are not
employees of the Human Rights Campaign or the Human
Rights Campaign Foundation. Each member of the panel
brought a specific expertise on a given area covered by theindex. (See the Acknowledgments for a list of the reviewers.)

HRC CORPORATE EQUALITY INDEX 2002 2

Even after scrupulous data collection and careful consideration, assigning a grade to a corporation that may employ
tens of thousands of individuals to measure how fairly ittreats GLBT people involves some degree of subjectivity.
The HRC Corporate Equality Index is intended to supplement the information of HRC WorkNet, which includes
more specific company information relating to benefits andpolicies. (www.hrc.org/worknet)
While HRC’s intent is to release new CEI scores annually,
individual scores may change over the course of the year as
employers implement new policies. This first release brings
together and analyzes data from a variety of sources datingback to 1993. As the concept of corporate responsibility
toward the LGBT community evolves and HRC refines its
ability to measure, say, nuances of advertising campaigns ordiversity training curricula, the criteria and the index itself
are likely to change.

FINDINGS
The 2002 HRC Corporate Equality Index rated 319
employers, including 208 Fortune 500 companies. (SeeAppendix 3 for all ratings.) The median score for all rated
employers was 57 percent. A total of 62 percent of companies received a 57 percent or higher.
Thirteen companies achieved a score of 100 percent.
They are:
Aetna Inc.
AMR Corp./American Airlines
Apple Computer Inc.
Avaya Inc.
Eastman Kodak Co.
Intel Corp.
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
Lucent Technologies Inc.
NCR Corp.
Nike Inc.
Replacements Ltd.
Worldspan L.P.
Xerox Corp.
While many of these companies have had a long commitment to lesbian and gay employees, most achieved a perfectscore by adding gender identity to their non-discrimination
policies. Transitioning employees — those who are moving
outside the socially accepted standards of dress, physiology

and/or behavior of their birth sex — often cannot avoid
challenging community standards about what is genderappropriate self-identification, appearance or expression.
Changes in corporate policies and practices are critical totreating gender non-conforming individuals equitably.
GLBT employee groups and transgender employees themselves have led corporate change in this area.
Three companies received a score of zero. They are:
CBRL Group Inc./Cracker Barrel
Emerson Electric Co.
Lockheed Martin Corp.
By failing to take any affirmative positions on the treatmentof GLBT employees and consumers, and by actively refusing to implement non-discrimination policies, these companies have not met a single criterion of the index. All three
have resisted shareholder resolutions urging the companies
to include sexual orientation in their non-discrimination
policies. They also stand in sharp contrast to such industry
peers as General Mills Inc. (86 percent), Starbucks Corp.
(86 percent), Motorola Inc. (86 percent) and RaytheonCo. (86 percent).
In 2002, one other company rated by HRC, Exxon Mobil
Corp., with a score of 14 percent, opposed a shareholder
resolution that called on the company to include sexual orientation in its equal employment opportunity statement.
The company has implemented a diversity training programthat covers sexual orientation — hence the 14 percentage
points. However, the training program has been used by thecompany in an attempt to mitigate negative publicity surrounding Exxon’s decision in 1999 to remove sexual orientation from Mobil’s non-discrimination policy following thetwo companies’ merger. At the same time, Exxon also closed
Mobil’s domestic partner benefits program to any additional
employees. Each of the other oil and gas firms that HRC
rated — ChevronTexaco Corp., BP and Shell Oil Co. —scored 86 percent.
Perot Systems Corp., which also scored 14 percent because
it has a non-discrimination policy covering sexual orientation, is the only other company known to have closed adomestic partner benefits program.
By resisting shareholder proposals to include sexual orientation in their non-discrimination policies, or by revoking
domestic partner benefits policies, as in the case of
ExxonMobil and Perot Systems, these five companies failed
to meet the last criterion of the index:

HRC CORPORATE EQUALITY INDEX 2002 3

ExxonMobil
Perot Systems Corp.
Emerson Electric Co.
CBRL Group Inc./Cracker Barrel
Lockheed Martin Corp.
Six companies received a rating of 14 percent because HRC
was unable to find any evidence that they had overtly resisted equal treatment for their LGBT employees, but neither
had they taken any affirmative steps for LGBT employees,
consumers or investors.
These employers are:
Domino’s Inc.
FedEx Corp.
MeadWestvaco Corp.
Meijer Inc.
Shaw Industries Inc.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

FIG. 1. MEETING THE CRITERIA

ance benefits for employees’ same-sex domestic partners. A
total of 221 employers, or 69 percent of those rated, offer
them.6 And 171 companies, or 54 percent, include sexual
orientation in their diversity training.
A total of 191, or 60 percent, have advertised to the LGBT
community or supported LGBT or HIV/AIDS organizations. This category was broadly defined and included local
advertising campaigns or sponsorships and major national
campaigns. These included gay-themed ads in gay publications nationwide from companies such as AMR
Corp./American Airlines (100 percent) and Subaru ofAmerica Inc. (86 percent). It also included a widely publicized gay-themed television ad from John Hancock
Financial Services Inc. (86 percent) that ran during the2000 Summer Olympics and featured a lesbian couple
returning home from abroad with an adopted child.
A total of 129, or 40 percent of companies rated, haveLGBT employee resource groups.
A large number of companies were in the mid-range of theindex. While the median score was 57 percent, the mostcommon score was 86 percent. A total of 82 companies, or
26 percent of all rated, scored 86 percent — meaning theymissed only one of the affirmative criteria on the list andwere not doing anything overtly hostile. For 80 of the companies in this category, the factor they lacked was a policy
prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity or
expression. According to ongoing research by HRC
WorkNet, such policies are a relatively new phenomenon
and are catching on gradually.7 Many larger companies are
just beginning to become aware that they have transgender
employees. Often, they deal with those employees on a caseby-case basis, reasoning that no formal policy is necessary.

FIG. 2. MAKING THE GRADE

Almost all of the companies rated — 92 percent, or 293 —include sexual orientation in their non-discrimination polices.
This criterion was met more than any other measured by theindex and is an indication that such policies are the foundation of a fair workplace and set the stage for other initiatives.
Only 17 employers, or 5 percent, include gender identity
and/or expression in their non-discrimination statements.
The second most-common criterion met was health insur-

The above graph shows the number of companies (the Y axis) thatreceived each Corporate Equality Index score (the X axis).

HRC CORPORATE EQUALITY INDEX 2002 4

However, HRC WorkNet has also observed a marked
increase in the last two to three years in the number of statesand smaller jurisdictions that prohibit discrimination basedon gender identity.8 The former glvIndex began rating thisfactor in 1999, and the Human Rights Campaign retained it
because part of HRC’s stated mission is to advocate for
equality based on gender identity and expression.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
A review of scores by industry found several with a medianscore above the median for all companies (57 percent).
These included:banking and financial services
median score: 71 percent
high-tech/photo/science equip.
median score: 79 percent
consulting firms
median score: 86 percent

Cola Co. (71 percent), Target Corp. (86 percent) and
Walgreens Co. (86 percent).
(See Appendix 4 for company scores sorted by industry.)

GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSISThe 319 employers rated in the 2002 CEI were spread across
36 states. Eleven states had a median score higher than the
median for the whole group (57 percent). North Carolina
and Colorado had the highest median scores of any state –86 percent. The six employers based in Connecticut had a
median score of 79 percent. Eight states had a median scoreof 71 percent: California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New
Jersey, Oregon, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
New York had the highest number of firms that were rated:
54, or 17 percent of the total. The median score for New
York-based companies was the same as for all companies
rated, 57 percent. California had the second-highest numberof firms rated: 49, or 15 percent of the total.

They comprised high performers such as J.P. Morgan Chase& Co. (100 percent), Capital One Financial Corp. (86 percent), FleetBoston Financial Corp. (86 percent), Eastman
Kodak Co. (100 percent), Intel Corp. (100 percent), Lucent
Technologies Inc. (100 percent), and Booz Allen Hamilton
Inc. (86 percent). Yet some companies in these market sectors
remained well below their peers, such as MBNA Corp. (29percent) and Emerson Electric Co. (0 percent).

Ten states had median scores below the median for thewhole group. The two firms in Arkansas had a median scoreof 22 percent. The four firms rated in Tennessee and the six
in Missouri had median scores of 29 percent. Seven otherstates had median scores of 43 percent: Indiana, Iowa,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Other market sectors that included companies that consistently scored below the median CEI score were:

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

engineering and construction
median score: 29 percent
food, beverage and grocery enterprises
median score: 43 percent
retail and consumer products
median score: 43 percent
Among the particularly poor performers in these sectors were
Illinois Tool Works Inc. (29 percent), PepsiCo Inc. (29percent), Albertson’s Inc. (29 percent), The Kroger Co. (29percent), Meijer Inc. (14 percent), Domino’s Inc. (14 percent), Circuit City Stores Inc. (29 percent), Staples Inc.
(29 percent) and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (14 percent).
Nevertheless, there were a few companies within those market sectors that scored relatively well, including: The Coca-

While more corporations across America are implementing
policies and practices that are the hallmarks of equal treatment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees,
consumers and investors, a small subset have demonstrated acommitment to equality beyond their own work forces. In
spring 2002, the U.S. Senate considered the Employment
Non-Discrimination Act, a bill that would ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Thirteen companies
voiced support for the bill in testimony and letters toCongress urging its passage. 9

The Boeing Co. (71 percent) and AT&T Corp. (86 percent) faced shareholder resolutions asking them to remove
sexual orientation from their non-discrimination policies.
The boards of both corporations made strong statements
against these resolutions, both of which failed.

treat their GLBT employees, consumers and investors more
fairly. We welcome input at any time from any company
rated here that has taken steps to improve its score.

Only 4 percent of all the companies rated in the 2002 CEIachieved 100 percent, and an even smaller proportion —almost 1 percent — scored zeroes. What this tells us is there
is a substantial middle ground where most of the largest
U.S. companies stand with regard to GLBT employees, consumers and investors. While the majority of the employers
rated have the basic foundations of non-discrimination policies and domestic partner benefits, their commitment to fullequality cannot be considered complete if they are not“walking the talk” by regularly training all staff in what thesepolicies mean and by becoming full participants in the quest
for civil rights through corporate giving and/or respectful,
appropriate marketing and advertising. And it is heartening
to note that the number of rated corporations actively resisting GLBT workplace equality is relatively tiny – underscoring HRC’s belief that most smart, successful companies realize that it is good business to treat gay, lesbian, bisexual andtransgender employees equally.
This index is intended to serve as a road map for those large
companies that are striving to earn a perfect grade. It enumerates for corporate leaders what the GLBT community
would like to see in an “ideal” employer and in many cases,
separates the leaders in from the laggards in various market
sectors and states. HRC hopes that the companies on thislist view the index as constructive. We stand ready to assist

HRC CORPORATE EQUALITY INDEX 2002 23

ENDNOTES
1. See “The 100 Best Companies for Gay Men and Lesbians” by Ed Mickens, Pocket Books, 1994, and “Cracking the Corporate
Closet: The 200 Best (and Worst) Companies to Work for, Buy from and Invest in If You’re Gay or Lesbian – and Even If You
Aren’t” by Daniel B. Baker, Sean O’Brien Strub and Bill Henning, HarperCollins Publishers Inc., 1995.
2. While there is a body of market research showing a segment of the GLBT community has a relatively high amount of disposable
income, the GLBT community as a whole has income similar to that of the population as a whole. The work of Prof. M.V. Lee
Badgett has shown gay men actually tend to make less money than their heterosexual counterparts. See “Income Inflation: The Mythof Affluence Among Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Americans,” Policy Institute of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and theInstitute for Lesbian and Gay Strategic Studies.
3. Visit www.hrc.org/worknet for a complete list of state and local laws prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
4. Scores on this criterion are based on information that has come to HRC’s attention related to topics including but not limited to:undue influence by a significant shareholder calculated to undermine a company’s employment policies or practices related to its
GLBT employees; or directing corporate charitable contributions in a manner calculated to undermine equality for GLBT people. It
may also include information related to a company’s actions such as: opposing shareholder resolutions reasonably aimed at encouraging
the adoption of inclusive non-discrimination policies; or directing resources from a majority-owned subsidiary to an institution(s)whose mission and/or goals undermines the goal of equality for GLBT people; or engaging in proven practices that are contrary to thecompany’s written GLBT employment policies.
5. Companies that do not meet criterion No. 7 — that is, if they are doing nothing overtly hostile — automatically receive 14 percentage points.
6. HRC was able to determine which companies provide benefits to opposite-sex couples as well for 190 of these employers. At total of122, or 64 percent, provide the benefits to opposite- and same-sex domestic partners.
7. See “The State of the Workplace for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Americans,” 2000 and 2001 editions, by the Human
Rights Campaign Foundation.
8. Six states, the District of Columbia and 44 cities and counties have enacted laws or are covered by court decisions that prohibit gender identity discrimination in both public and private employment.
9. For a complete list of corporations that have endorsed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, see http://www.hrc.org/issues/federal_leg/enda/background/endacorp.asp.
10. This company urged Congress to enact federal legislation that would protect individuals from job discrimination based on sexual orientation.
11. American Airlines CEO Don Carty testified May 8, 2002, in favor of a Dallas ordinance that added sexual orientation and gender
identity to that city’s anti-discrimination law.
12. AT&T and Boeing faced shareholder resolutions asking them to remove sexual orientation from their non-discrimination policies.
The boards of both corporations made strong statements against these resolutions, both of which failed.
13. It appears that a significant shareholder of Coors stock may have supported an institution whose mission includes undermining thegoal of GLBT equality. To HRC’s knowledge, such support has not affected the company’s policies or practices related to its GLBT
employees.
14. It appears that a significant shareholder of Unumprovident stock may have supported an institution whose mission includes undermining the goal of GLBT equality. To HRC’s knowledge, such support has not affected the company’s policies or practices related to
its GLBT employees.
