Comcast has severed ties with employees and business partners based on their political views once activists applied pressure and has no policies in place to protect against this political discrimination. Comcast 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, Comcast 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. Comcast 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. Comcast provides a benefits package for employees which covers travel/lodging costs for an abortion and transgender medical procedures for covered employees and dependents, including children. The company pledged $100 million to BLM and related causes. The company is a corporate partner of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and may have funded Planned Parenthood. Comcast's CEO is a signatory of the Business Roundtable's 2019 Statement on the Purpose of Corporation, which promotes stakeholder capitalism over traditional shareholder obligations. The company opposed various state and local legislation intended to protect parental rights, girls’ sports, bathroom facilities, and gendered spaces. Comcast is a member of the MCCA, indicating its focus on recruiting, retaining, and promoting employees based on race. The company donated to the Equality PAC. For these reasons, Comcast receives a High Risk rating.
