LexisNexis Legal & Professional Rated in 2020 Corporate Equality Index

January 23, 2020

LexisNexis Legal & Professional earns 95 percent on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's annual scorecard assessing LGBTQ workplace equality

January 23, 2020 — New York, N.Y. --LexisNexis Legal & Professional, a leading global provider of information and analytics, received a score of 95 percent, on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2020 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s premier benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality. LexisNexis is proud to be among the ranks of more than 1000 major U.S. businesses that were also rated this year.

“LexisNexis Legal & Professional believes that the success of our business and how we impact the world is directly linked to the 10,000 individuals of varying backgrounds and perspectives in more than 130 countries around the world,” stated Alyce Clark, EVP of Human Resources globally at LexisNexis Legal & Professional. “The 2020 Corporate Equality Index ranking reflects our steadfast dedication to ensuring that we hire the best employees from diverse talent groups and that we foster a work culture where all employees can bring their entire self to work and are provided equal opportunities to grow and advance.”

“The impact of the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index over its 18-year history is profound. In this time, the corporate community has worked with us to adopt LGBTQ-inclusive policies, practices and benefits, establishing the Corporate Equality Index as a primary driving force for LGBTQ workplace inclusion in America and across the globe,” said HRC President Alphonso David. “These companies know that protecting their LGBTQ employees and customers from discrimination is not just the right thing to do -- it is also the best business decision. In addition, many of these leaders are also advocating for the LGBTQ community and equality under the law in the public square. From supporting LGBTQ civil rights protections in the U.S. through HRC’s Business Coalition for the Equality Act, to featuring transgender and non-binary people in an ad in Argentina, to advocating for marriage equality in Taiwan -- businesses understand their LGBTQ employees and customers deserve to be seen, valued and respected not only at work, but in every aspect of daily life.”

The results of this year’s CEI showcase how 1059 U.S.-based companies are not only promoting LGBTQ-friendly workplace policies in the U.S., but helping advance the cause of LGBTQ inclusion in workplaces abroad.

The CEI rates companies and top law firms on detailed criteria falling under five broad categories:

  • Non-discrimination policies
  • Employment benefits
  • Demonstrated organizational competency and accountability around LGBTQ diversity and inclusion
  • Public commitment to LGBTQ equality
  • Responsible citizenship
