Chipotle to Papa John s: 60 Corps That Improved LGBTQ Policies in 2020
The Human Rights Campaign released its Corporate Equality Index, and dozens of businesses nabbed perfect scores for the first time. January 29 2021 4:44 PM EST
The Human Rights Campaign this week released its 19th Corporate Equality Index, which closely examines the LGBTQ+ policies of thousands of American corporations, including most of the Fortune 500. Even with the tumult of 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic to social unrest to a president who refused to concede an election and incited an insurrection corporate America trended toward inclusivity, with 60 corporations that previously appeared on the CEI receiving perfect scores for the first time.

It s possible Activision Blizzard won t be appearing on next year s list of perfect scores. The CEI scoring system docks a company 25 points for a large-scale official or public anti-LGBTQ blemish on their recent records, and one of the given examples of such a blemish is opposing shareholder resolutions reasonably aimed at encouraging the adoption of inclusive workplace policies.
Earlier this week, Vice reported on an Activision Blizzard objection to a shareholder proposal to mandate interviewing diverse applicants for every job opening, saying it would be an unworkable encroachment on the Company s ability to run its business and compete for talent in a highly competitive, fast-moving market. The publisher later said its objection in the SEC filing was mischaracterized, and more about how to apply the proposal internationally.
