A lawsuit filed in October 2021 alleges that Honeywell requires critical race theory-influenced training for all employees under threat of termination. Honeywell scored a 100 out of 100 on the 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a political stakeholder group. By complying with the HRC’s controversial demands, Honeywell increases the risk of dividing employees, alienating customers and harming shareholders. The company provides a benefits package for employees which covers transgender medical procedures for covered employees and dependents, including children. It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, marketing, and philanthropic support. Honeywell 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 Catalyst's Champions for Change pledge. Honeywell is a copper sponsor of Out & Equal and supports the Equality Act. Honeywell is a signatory of the Business Roundtable's 2019 Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation, which promotes stakeholder capitalism. The company has donated to the Equality PAC and Progressive Americans for Democracy. For these reasons, Honeywell receives a High Risk rating.
