CNA Financial scored a 100 on the 2023 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a political stakeholder group. By complying with the HRC’s controversial demands, CNA Financial 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. CNA Financial 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. The company's CEO signed the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion pledge and supports the Equality Act. CNA Financial signed federal legislation that would overrule state laws designed to protect girls' sports. The company funds multiple LGBTQ organizations and opposed the Florida Parental Rights in Education Law. For these reasons, CNA Financial receives a High Risk rating.
