Summary:
Edison International scored a 90 on the 2023 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a political stakeholder group. By complying with Human Rights Campaign’s controversial demands, Edison International 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. Edison International 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 discriminates against some religious organizations in its charitable giving and supports the Equality Act. Edison's CEO is a signatory of the Business Roundtable's 2019 Statement on the Purpose of Corporation, which promotes stakeholder capitalism, and is committed to carbon neutrality by 2040. The company regularly uses its reputation to advance LGBTQ Pride and Southern California Edison is a member of the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce. However, the company has not used its political contributions for ideological purposes. For these reasons, Edison International receives a High Risk rating.
