"Duke Energy 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, Duke Energy 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. Duke Energy 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. Duke Energy provides unconscious bias training for its employees. The company was a corporate sponsor of a \"compromise bill\" that would replace North Carolina's 2015 HB 2 \"bathroom bill\", and it supports the Equality Act. Duke Energy is a signatory of the Business Roundtable's 2019 Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation, which promotes stakeholder capitalism. The company’s CEO, Lynn Good, signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge, which includes a commitment to promote DEI through bias education training in the workplace. Duke Energy has pledged over $1 million to the Black Lives Matter movement and related causes. For these reasons, Duke Energy receives a High Risk rating."
