Marathon Petroleum has not publicly terminated business relationships based on views or beliefs. Marathon Petroleum scored a 100 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, Marathon 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. Marathon 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 does not provide its employees with protections against viewpoint discrimination. The company discriminates against some religious organizations in its charitable giving and is a corporate partner of the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce. Its former CEO signed the Business Roundtable's 2019 Statement on the Purpose of Corporation, which promotes stakeholder capitalism. However, Marathon Petroleum has not used its PAC contributions for ideological purposes. For these reasons, Marathon Petroleum receives a High Risk rating.
