By complying with the HRC’s controversial demands, KeyCorp increases the risk of dividing employees, alienating customers and harming shareholders. The company covers transgender-related medical costs for its employees and their children and provides specific sexual orientation and gender identity-based benefits. It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, marketing, and philanthropic support. KeyCorp forces employees to undergo multiple ideological trainings and uses its reputation, corporate funds, and political influence to support controversial sex and gender ideologies, organizations, and legislation. KeyCorp supports the Equality Act and hosts trainings for its employees that cover unconscious bias. The company requires organizations abide by its charitable giving nondiscrimination policies and has donated $18 million to racial equity organizations.
