Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Duke Energy has received a perfect score for the fourth year in a row on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2021 Corporate Equality Index, a national benchmarking study that annually ranks companies on LGBTQ-friendly corporate practices and policies.

Duke Energy’s score of 100% earned the company inclusion on the organization’s list of “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality.”

The 2021 Corporate Equality Index rates employers based on criteria in five categories: non-discrimination policies, benefits, organizational competency and accountability around LGBTQ inclusion, public commitment, and citizenship.

Duke Energy is one of only five companies headquartered in the Charlotte region to achieve a perfect score.

“We pay a lot of attention to how it feels to work at Duke Energy,” said Joni Davis, Duke Energy’s vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer. “Everyone here has a role in ensuring our work environment is inclusive and enriching. We are honored to be recognized in this way.”  

Among the policies and practices in place at Duke Energy are anti-discrimination training, equal health coverage for transgender individuals, philanthropic giving to support the LGBTQ community, and an employee resource group whose mission is to promote LGBTQ inclusion.

“We all spend a lot of time at work, and it’s important that you feel like you can bring – and share – your whole self,” said Lara Nichols, Duke Energy’s vice president, nuclear and environment, health and safety legal. “Allyship is critical to creating an inclusive culture, and it’s an honor to serve as our We Are One (WeR1) for LGBTQ Equality employee resource group executive sponsor.”

The WeR1 for LGBTQ Equality employee resource group has nearly 500 members and is supported by the company’s senior leadership. Learn more on illumination.
