OCC is proud to receive a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s 2025 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality. OCC joins more than 760 U.S. businesses honored with the HRC Foundation’s Equality 100 Award as leaders in LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion.
“At OCC, treating everyone with respect and kindness is part of our #WeAreOCC value and helps ensure all colleagues feel supported and heard,” said Ngoc Nguyen, Executive Director and head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at OCC. “We live this value at the management level by striving to enact inclusive workplace policies, offering supportive benefits and creating opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds to connect and have their voices heard. We’re proud that the HRC Foundation has recognized those efforts.”
The results of the 2025 CEI showcase how U.S.-based companies are promoting LGBTQ+ friendly workplace policies in the U.S. and abroad. The CEI rates employers providing these crucial protections to more than 22 million U.S. workers and includes 1,449 participants in 2025, from the largest publicly traded companies to small and mid-sized businesses that are publicly or privately held.
The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four central pillars:
- Non-discrimination policies across business entities;
- Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families;
- Supporting an inclusive culture; and
- Corporate social responsibility.
