The number of Mexican companies with LGBT+ friendly work policies nearly doubled in the past year, a leading rights group reported on Thursday, showing the influence of U.S. corporations on local business partners to support gay and trans workers.
The number grew to 120 from 69 the previous year, according to the annual Equidad MX report by the U.S.-based Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC).
U.S.-based firms including Nike, Uber and Walmart comprised more than half the list, while the number of Mexican-owned companies with LGBT+ friendly policies grew to 36 from 15, it said . . .
