Pacific Life scored an 80 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, Pacific Life 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. Pacific Life forces employees to undergo multiple ideological trainings and does not provide viewpoint protections for its employees. However, it has not publicly terminated business relationships based on views or beliefs or used its reputation for ideological purposes. For these reasons, Pacific Life receives a Medium Risk rating.
