Summary:

Live Nation, a forum used to sell tickets to concerts and sporting events, scored a 90 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, Live Nation 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 marketing. Live Nation 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 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. Live Nation opposed Georgia's election reform laws. However, the company has not publicly terminated business relationships based on views or beliefs and does not discriminate against charitable organizations based on views or beliefs. For these reasons, Live Nation receives a Medium Risk rating.
