In October, I was honored to accept the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) Corporate Equality Award. Today, I am proud to share news that [PayPal has earned a perfect 100% score on HRC’s 2017 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) for the second year in a row!](http://www.hrc.org/campaigns/corporate-equality-index)

The CEI rated businesses that elevate LGBT-related policies and practices, including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBT community. We are proud of the work that we do to create a diverse and inclusive environment at PayPal and we are privileged to be named one of the Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality by HRC.

At [PayPal](https://www.paypal.com/), inclusion and equality are more than just words on our walls. These are core values that lie at the center of who we are as a company and that guide all of our actions. Our mission is to democratize financial services to give billions of people who are underserved by the current financial system access to affordable and safe ways to move and manage money, and to ensure that everyone can participate in the global economy and achieve financial health. This is a mission that is fundamentally inclusive and ties back to our core values that we strive to promote in all aspects of our business.

On behalf of our employees, we are pleased to be honored for this work by HRC. We will continue to strive to make a difference in people’s lives, as we remain focused on promoting diversity and inclusion in everything we do.
