TPG earns 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s annual assessment of LGBTQ workplace equality Fort Worth, Texas, and San Francisco – January 28, 2021 –- TPG, a leading global alternative asset firm, proudly announced that it received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2021 Corporate Equality Index, the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality. TPG joins the ranks of 767 major U.S. businesses that also earned top marks this year. This is the fourth consecutive year that TPG has been recognized with a perfect CEI score. “We are proud to see our consistent work towards workplace diversity, equality, and inclusion reflected in a perfect score from the Human Rights Campaign,” said Anilu Vazquez-Ubarri, Chief Human Resources Officer of TPG. “Even as we have made substantial progress at TPG and across our ecosystem, the vast and significant social challenges we faced throughout 2020 have demonstrated the importance of creating enduring change.
