The foundation researched 618 employers, including more than half of the Fortune 500 list. The index is based on the foundation’s independent research, as well as information submitted by the businesses themselves. Each is evaluated on criteria including nondiscrimination policies, diversity training covering sexual orientation, and employer-provided domestic partner health insurance.
