Each business/brand is assigned one of three colors based on its score in our report: green, yellow or red. The parent company is listed first in each entry, and is linked to its respective page on our online Corporate Equality Index. The parent company's brand-name products, if any, are listed underneath, and its corresponding CEI score is listed on the right. Examples of these entries are below.

	BP Amoco	100
	ConocoPhillips 76; Conoco; Phillips66	63
	Exxon Mobil Esso; Exxon; Mobil	0

Each company is classified as follows:

• Green (80-100): Businesses/brands with one of our higher scores. Consumers should make every effort to support these companies.
• Yellow (46-79): Businesses/brands that have taken steps toward a fair-minded workplace, but where there is still progress to be made.
• Red (0-45): Businesses/brands that have more work to do in furthering equality. If possible, make the choice to support a fairer company.
