SNIP:
Exxon said in a statement that it is reviewing the filing and that its global policies and processes prohibit all forms of discrimination, including those based on sexual orientation and gender identity, in any company workplace, anywhere in the world.
In fact, our policies go well beyond the law and prohibit any form of discrimination, the company said.
But in another statement, Freedom to Work President Tico Almeida said the Texas company stands virtually alone in the Fortune 100 in denying qualified gay and transgender Americans a fair shot to get a job based on their talents and hard work.
National gay rights group Human Rights Campaign gave Exxon a negative 25 score on its most recent rankings of major companies for its Corporate Equality Index. Many other firms landed higher than 80 on a scale of 100.
