The company 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 provides unconscious bias training for its employees. Lendlease supports the Equality Act and promoted the idea of systemic racism and published a Reconciliation Action Plan.

For these reasons, Lendlease receives a Medium Risk rating.
