Rating - Danger
High Risk

Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), a commercial real estate company, canceled a business deal with Trump Hotels. It does not match gifts to "religious organizations" but appears to allow donations to religious schools. JLL vets vendors according to LGBTQ policies and does not provide its employees with protections against viewpoint discrimination. The company covers the cost of "medically necessary transition-related care" for its employees and their children. JLL has supported the Equality Act and funds multiple LGBTQ organizations. However, the company does protect its employees against viewpoint discrimination and has not used its PAC contributions for ideological purposes. For these reasons, Jones Lang LaSalle receives a High Risk rating.
