Dunkin' Brands announced it secured a perfect score on the 2019 Corporate Equality Index, or CEI, a benchmarking survey and report that evaluates the strength of corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality.
Per an article in QSR Magazine, the parent company for franchise brands Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins became one of more than 560 U.S. businesses that also earned top marks on the CEI this year.
Administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the 2019 CEI assesses a business’ LGBTQ-related policies and practices. This includes non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the LGBTQ community.
