There is another score too overseen by the Human Rights Campaign which is the largest LBGT+ lobbying group called the Corporate Equality Index / CEI score. Companies *voluntarily* submit information to get a score. Ironically Warren Buffet’s company has a zero because he refuses to submit any information. The HRC threatens the companies with a reduction in score when they don’t comply. The stockholders are the big losers. A lot of retirement accounts are invested in these participating companies. At least it is finally getting attention and push back and you can see a lot of pride disappearing or being minimized after the Target, Bud Light debacle. Target had one of the highest CEI scores but now they are losing points trying to compromise on their pride displays.

Excellent article. I just read that Tesla earned 37 points on their ESG scorecard while Philip Morris, the tobacco giant, and wokest of all, posted a score of 84.
