Discover Named Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality Six Years in a Row
RIVERWOODS, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–For the sixth consecutive year, Discover Financial Services earned a
perfect 100 score from the Human Rights Campaign’s Annual Corporate
Equality Index (CEI) and is recognized as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ
Equality.
Developed to encourage employers to advance inclusive workplace
practices for the LGBTQ community, the CEI is a national benchmarking
tool on corporate policies and is used each year to rank businesses on
their commitment to promoting fairness in the workplace.
“We’re proud to have a workplace culture that celebrates both inclusion
and innovation,” said Roger Hochschild, CEO and president of Discover.
“We believe bringing together a variety of viewpoints and backgrounds is
the best way to meet the needs of our customers, and we’re committed to
creating an environment where all employees can feel a sense of
belonging.”
Since 2013, Discover’s employee resource groups have been bringing
together members of diverse backgrounds to foster an inclusive
environment and promote company values, personal development and
business results.
PRIDE, the employee resource group supporting Discover’s LGBTQ
community, has led a number of successful initiatives aimed at giving
LGBTQ cardmembers a similar sense of inclusion. In 2015, the group was
behind the marketing effort to offer cardmembers a rainbow-themed card
design, known as the Discover it Pride Card. Additionally, the group
spearheaded Discover’s “We Accept” campaign which encouraged merchants
in areas with large LGBTQ communities to denote their acceptance of
Discover cards with a rainbow-themed sticker.
Of the total 1,028 companies analyzed by the index, Discover earned a
perfect 100 score alongside 570 other companies.

Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.
The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.
Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.
“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”
Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
