NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Moody’s Corporation (NYSE:MCO) announced today that it has achieved a perfect score of 100 on the Corporate Equality Index (CEI) for 2019, marking the eighth consecutive year the company has achieved a top ranking. The CEI has also designated Moody’s as a Best Place to Work for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) Equality.

The CEI is a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation.
