The banking and financial services industry is second to the legal sector in inclusive policies, benefits and practices for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community, according to one human rights organization.

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), an educational division of the LGBTQ civil rights organization, listed 110 banking and financial services companies that scored 100 percent on its “2018 Corporate Equality Index (CEI).” Six hundred and nine businesses scored 100 points.

The CEI began in 2002, and that year only Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. scored 100 points. Among the 110 companies that now have a 100 point score, some are making their debut in the index like MB Financial Inc., headquartered in Chicago.

“The sheer number of companies in this year’s CEI earning top marks demonstrates that inclusion continues to be the market standard,” said Deena Fidas, director of the HRC Foundation’s Workplace Equality Program, in a statement.

Companies were rated according to broad categories such as their non-discrimination policies; their employment benefits; their understanding and accountability for diversity and inclusion; and for their public commitment and responsible citizenship. 

Although, some companies have already boasted about their scores, according to HRC, these ratings are not rankings but a guide to a successful business.

Here’s an (incomplete) list of banking and financial services companies that scored 100 points.
