McGraw Hill 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 Human Rights Campaign’s controversial demands, McGraw Hill 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. McGraw Hill 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. McGraw Hill has published several textbooks containing elements of critical race theory that have been banned in certain public school systems. The company asks its leadership to attend a two-session training program by a diversity, equity and inclusion firm. McGraw Hill has a Supplier Diversity program requiring that all suppliers have LGBTQ protections, as well as recommending suppliers become a "Certified Diverse Business" according to certain national certifying bodies of the company's choice. The company supports the Equality Act and issued a statement after the death of George Floyd, alluding to systemic racism. McGraw Hill’s CEO, Simon Hill, signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge, which includes a commitment to promote DEI through bias education training in the workplace. The company is also a corporate partner of the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce. For these reasons, McGraw Hill receives a High Risk rating.
