Company Earns a Perfect 100 Percent Score on HRC Foundation’s
Annual Scorecard on LGBT Workplace Equality
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) today announced it received a perfect score
of 100 percent on the 2016 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national
benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices

Campaign Foundation. The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest
civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender equality.
“Time Warner Cable is proud to be a brand and employer of choice in the
LGBT community,” said Jerrell Moore, TWC’s Vice President of Diversity
and Inclusion. “TWC’s continued commitment to a workplace that is
reflective of our customer communities is mirrored in our growing
Employee Network membership. Our Employee Networks, including Out@TWC,
assist in creating an environment of inclusion and respect, serve as
great brand ambassadors for the company and play a significant role in
helping TWC execute our vision and strategy for continued success.”
“In this 2016 Corporate Equality Index, hundreds of major businesses
responded to our new standards for workplace equality with exceptional
leadership,” said Deena Fidas, HRC Foundation Workplace Equality Program
Director. “Time Warner Cable not only meets these standards, it goes
above and beyond the call of duty, making commitment to equality a
fundamental aspect of its corporate values.”
TWC joins the ranks of 407 major U.S. businesses which also earned top
marks this year. The 2016 CEI rated 1,027 businesses in the report,
which evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices including
non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits,
transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs, and
public engagement with the LGBT community.
TWC’s efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria resulted in a 100
percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBT
Equality. The company was listed in the HRC Foundation’s 2015 buying
