They are watching to see if the businesses they patronize understand and honor issues important to them, giving buying power to issues ranging from LGBT inclusiveness to environmental protection.

With the Buying for Workplace Equality guide, HRC hopes to harness that power by providing you with the most accurate review of a business’s workplace policies toward LGBT employees.
