Troutman Sanders Earns Perfect Score in 2019 Corporate Equality Index
ATLANTA – For the 11th consecutive year, Troutman Sanders LLP has received a top rating of 100 percent in the Corporate Equality Index (CEI), an annual survey administered by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation that measures LGBTQ workplace equality.
Troutman Sanders was among 560 U.S. businesses – and one of only seven Atlanta-based law firms – that achieved a rating of 100 percent, earning the distinction of “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality,” for its support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) attorneys and staff.
“We are proud to again be named a ‘Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality,’” said Steve Lewis, managing partner of Troutman Sanders. “Troutman Sanders is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and this distinction helps confirm we’re continuing to stay true to our core values.”
The 2019 CEI evaluates LGBTQ-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBTQ community.
“The top-scoring companies on this year’s CEI are not only establishing policies that affirm and include employees here in the United States, they are applying these policies to their global operations and impacting millions of people beyond our shores,” HRC President Chad Griffin said in a company press release.
