Samsung 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, Samsung, a manufacturing conglomerate, 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. Samsung 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 implements diversity and inclusivity training for new employees and operates “D&I Campaigns” on topics such as microaggressions and unconscious bias. Samsung created The Samsung Equality Alliance and supports the Equality Act. The company joined the business coalition Texas Competes in support of the LGBTQ movement. Samsung has hosted speakers for its Pride Month events encouraging an intersectional worldview and advocating for progressive social justice views. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance is part of the Net Zero Insurance Alliance, which is committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. Former HARMAN CEO Dinesh C. Paliwal signed the Business Roundtable’s 2019 Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation, which promotes stakeholder capitalism over traditional obligations to shareholders. HARMAN CEO, Michael Mauser, signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge, which includes a commitment to promote DEI through bias education training in the workplace. For these reasons, Samsung receives a High Risk rating.
