Corporate Equality Index
In 2006, Perot Systems was one of three companies, of 1,520 surveyed, to receive the lowest possible rating on the Corporate Equality Index survey conducted by the Human Rights Campaign. In 2009, the company was one of only two to receive a zero ranking in the survey, which evaluates "employers and their policies and practices pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees". The company previously offered domestic partner benefits to its employees, under a policy which was canceled in 1998. In the 2006 ranking, Perot was cited for " in action that would undermine the goal of equality". Dell, on the other hand, has been ranked with a perfect score on the Corporate Equality Index for 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words corporate, equality and/or index:
“Power, in Case’s world, meant corporate power. The zaibatsus, the multinationals ..., had ... attained a kind of immortality. You couldn’t kill a zaibatsu by assassinating a dozen key executives; there were others waiting to step up the ladder; assume the vacated position, access the vast banks of corporate memory.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“A woman’s asking for equality in the church would be comparable to a black person’s demanding equality in the Ku Klux Klan.”
—Mary Daly (b. 1928)
“Exile as a mode of genius no longer exists; in place of Joyce we have the fragments of work appearing in Index on Censorship.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
