McKesson was sued by former employees it fired for refusing the Covid-19 vaccine on religious grounds (1). McKesson received a score of 100 on the Corporate Equality Index from the Human Rights Campaign (2). Among other requirements, this means the company has pledged to vet vendors based on LGBTQ policies. It has not canceled clients based on their views or beliefs otherwise.

McKesson focuses its giving on supporting its employees and cancer patients (1). Its employee matching program is limited to “educational institutions, volunteer fire/rescue and emergency response organizations” (2).

McKesson protects against religious discrimination, as well as protecting against discrimination for “non-job-related criteria” (1). The company does not explicitly protect against viewpoint discrimination.

McKesson has advocated for the Equality Act, and its public affairs team monitors legislation in conjunction with LGBTQ and ally employees “that could significantly impact the LGBT community” (1)(2).

The McKesson Foundation donated to a regional Planned Parenthood in 2013, but otherwise, it does not fund ideological causes, organizations, or policies hostile to free expression (1) (2).

McKesson has used its PAC and political giving for bipartisan business purposes.
