Qurate Retail Group, the parent company of QVC, cut ties with Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, after his remarks regarding the 2020 election. Qurate Retail Group 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 the HRC’s controversial demands, Qurate Retail Group 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. Qurate Retail Group 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. Qurate required all its employees complete unconscious bias training. The company’s CEO David Rawlinson II is a member of the Business Roundtable, which supports stakeholder capitalism over traditional shareholder obligations. A subsidiary of the company, HSN, signed an open letter in support of the Equality Act, a controversial bill. Qurate's CEO signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge, which includes a commitment to promote DEI through bias education training in the workplace. The company states that it has a 100% match for organizations that support racial and social justice, but the only organization publicly mentioned is the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI). Qurate is a brass sponsor of Out & Equal and in 2022, HSN and QVC donated $100,000 to the Trevor Project. For these reasons, Qurate receives a High Risk rating.
