The Corporate Equality Index
The Corporate Equality Index (CEI) is a scoring system that evaluates companies on their workplace policies and practices regarding LGBTQ+ equality. It assesses factors such as anti-discrimination protections, inclusive benefits (like health coverage for same-sex partners), and supportive workplace culture. Companies are given a score based on these criteria, which helps identify those committed to promoting diversity and fairness. A high CEI score indicates a company actively fosters an inclusive environment, making it easier for employees and consumers to recognize organizations that prioritize equality and respect for all individuals.
