S&P Global scored a 90 on the 2023 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a political stakeholder group. By complying with Human Rights Campaign’s controversial demands, S&P Global 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. S&P Global 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 pledged $1 million to BLM and related causes and is a corporate partner of the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce. S&P Global incorporates ESG into all of its business operations and is a signatory of the Business Roundtable's 2019 Statement on the Purpose of Corporation, which promotes stakeholder capitalism. The company has supported the Equality Act and signed the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion pledge. S&P is part of Glasgow's Net Zero Alliance. For these reasons, S&P Global receives a High Risk rating.
