User Rating:Are you someone concerned with corporate responsibility? Do you believe that large and small companies should be concerned about social issues? If so, the HRC Buying for Equality Guide app is a great tool for you. It identifies many major brands and products that support, or fail to support, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality.
The HRC Buying for Equality Guide is created by the Human Rights Campaign organization and it rates all kinds of businesses with a simple color coded scheme. The companies identified as green are those who practice LGBT friendly practices and initiatives, those in yellow are viewed as able to do a bit better, and the red brand names are those to avoid as much as possible.
These ratings come from a close examination of the individual companies’ workplace policies around inclusiveness of those who openly lead an LGBT lifestyle, and the app provides the user with a way to email information about any of the brands noted and even those that are not. Categories of products are far-ranging and include everything from auto fuel to clothing, which will make it a valuable asset for those who want to practice equitable spending habits and to support fair-minded businesses.
The HRC Buying for Equality Guide app is a rare and unique option and is unlike many other consumer guides available.
There is no charge for the download of this app, and all updates will also come at no additional expense. It functions with iPod Touch and iPhone devices.
If you want to support only those businesses that have an open-minded and equality-based ethic, this app will become your most valuable approach to identifying them.
