EA has once again scored a perfect 100% on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) “Best Places to Work 2014” Corporate Equality Index , the national benchmarking tool on corporate policies and how they relate to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees.

As described on The Human Rights Campaign's website , the 2014 report found EA to be one of 304 major businesses that earned a top score of 100 percent and the distinction of “Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality" - up from 13 businesses a decade ago."We are extremely proud of this achievement that recognizes corporate policies and practices that demonstrate a commitment to LGBT equality and inclusion," wrote EA on its website . "In addition to this exciting achievement, EA was busy around the world throughout the year supporting local Pride Parades where our employees live and work. From San Fransisco to Los Angeles, Seattle to Stockholm, Vancouver to Austin and finally in Orlando, everyone who came out to join EA and show their support and pride had an amazing time."The publisher has supported a number of additional LGBT initiatives throughout the year, including February's Full Spectrum event, created to highlight LGBT issues in the video game industry, and GaymerX, the first convention targeted to LGBT gamers and allies.EA will also donate a portion of the proceeds made from August's Humble Origin Bundle to The Human Rights Campaign; yesterday we reported that $1.65 million has already been donated to the American Cancer Society.
