The Clorox Company earned the top rating of 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign's 2006 Corporate Equality Index, which was published. The index is a nationally recognized measure of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) equality in the workplace.
"Clorox is proud to be recognized by the Human Rights Campaign for our commitment to creating a supportive environment for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees," said Jackie Kane, senior vice president – human resources and corporate affairs, for Clorox. "We believe embracing diversity in all forms, including sexual orientation and gender identity, creates a more dynamic and innovative work environment, and ultimately helps us be more successful as an organization."
The 2006 Corporate Equality Index rated companies on a scale of 0 percent to 100 percent on several factors, including whether they have a written nondiscrimination policy covering sexual orientation; support transgender employees with written nondiscrimination policies and benefits; offer inclusive health insurance, bereavement and family leave policies to employees with same-sex partners; offer diversity training; have GLBT employee groups; engage in appropriate and respectful advertising to the GLBT community; contribute to GLBT community organizations; and decline to engage in any activities that would undermine the goal of equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
