national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and
practices related to LGBT workplace equality administered by the Human

“Moody’s is proud to have been recognized with a perfect score for the
fifth year in a row by the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality

The 100 percent ranking recognizes Moody’s efforts in satisfying all of
the CEI’s criteria and the designation of Moody’s as a “Best Place to
