EA scores 100 percent on Human Rights Campaign index

Electronic Arts scored a 100 percent on Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality, the company announced today on its blog.

Since 2002, HRC's report has examined businesses for "inclusive policies, practices and benefits for LGBT employees." According to HRC president Chad Griffin's executive summary in the Corporate Equality Index 2014 (PDF link), EA was one of "304 major businesses — spanning nearly every industry and geography — [that] earned a top score of 100 percent and the coveted distinction of 'Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality.'"

EA has supported LGBT causes on a corporate level. Earlier this year, it announced its participation in LGBT Pride Month. In March, it held a one-day conference to discuss LGBT issues.
