New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, trustee of the $260 billion New York Common Retirement Fund, is prodding portfolio companies about their level of support for LGBTQ+ employees in the workplace.
DiNapoli has sent letters to 17 companies seeking LGBTQ+ information, including Aflac, Agilent Technologies, Albertsons, American Financial Group, Archer Daniels Midland, Baker Hughes, Caterpillar, Cintas, First Horizon, Jabil, Liberty Media, Marathon Oil, NextEra Energy, Reliance, Ryder System, Universal Health Services and WR Berkley. The pension fund owns shares in each of the companies.
DiNapoli said he wants the companies to disclose the equity and inclusion efforts being used in their workforce management strategy, particularly how they support LGBTQ+ employees through nondiscrimination policies, equal and inclusive health and other benefits, and employee resource groups.
