Overview
(March 28, 2019, Washington, DC) — Steptoe received a 100% rating and earned the designation as a "Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality" in the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation's 2019 Corporate Equality Index (CEI). The CEI rates companies and top law firms on detailed criteria in four broad categories: non-discrimination policies; employment benefits; supporting an inclusive culture and corporate social responsibility including public commitment to LGBTQ equality; and responsible citizenship.
Since 2002, the HRC Foundation has published the CEI report based largely on the annual CEI survey administered to hundreds of major global employers. The first Index in 2002 had 13 top-rated companies. The CEI universe includes Fortune magazine's 500 largest publicly traded businesses, American Lawyer magazine's top 200 revenue-grossing law firms (AmLaw 200) and hundreds of publicly and privately held mid- to large-sized businesses.
