Thompson Hine, through the efforts of its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thompsonhine.com/about/diversity-equity-inclusion" target="_self" rel="noopener">Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion Initiative</a> and its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thompsonhine.com/about/womens-program" target="_self" rel="noopener">Spotlight on Women®</a> program, is committed to attracting, retaining and supporting a diverse workforce.

The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four central pillars: non-discrimination policies across business entities, equitable benefits for LGBTQ workers and their families, supporting an inclusive culture, and corporate social responsibility.

“From the previously unimaginable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, to a long overdue reckoning with racial injustice, 2020 was an unprecedented year. Yet many businesses across the nation stepped up and continued to prioritize and champion LGBTQ equality,” said Human Rights Campaign President Alphonso David. “This year has shown us that tools like the CEI are crucial in the work to increase equity and inclusion in the workplace, but also that companies must breathe life into these policies and practices in real and tangible ways. Thank you to the companies that understand protecting their LGBTQ employees and consumers from discrimination is not just the right thing to do—but the best business decision.”
