The Human Rights Campaign Foundation awarded 545 companies with a perfect score on its annual Corporate Equality Index, which evaluates U.S. based companies that opt into the survey on their policies for LGBTQ+ equality.
More than 800 of the 1,384 companies scored earned at least 90 of the possible 100 points.
When the index first began in 2002, only 13 companies earned the highest score.
Target scored a 95 this year, while Anheuser-Busch scored a 75.
