Warner Bros. Discovery is the result of a 2022 merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery. Discovery Inc., a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery, scored a 65 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, the company increases the risk of dividing employees, alienating customers and harming shareholders. The company covers transgender-related medical costs for its employees and their children. It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, and philanthropic support. Discovery and CNN provides a benefits package for employees which covers travel/lodging costs for an abortion. Warner Bros. does not provide its employees with protections against viewpoint discrimination but has not publicly terminated business relationships due to views or beliefs. Warner Bros. Warner Media opposed various state and local legislation intended to protect parental rights, girls’ sports, bathroom facilities, and gendered spaces. For these reasons, Warner Bros. Discovery receives a Medium Risk rating.
