The world’s largest clinical research organization, Quintiles , issued a statement last Thursday in response to North Carolina’s passage of HB2, a sweeping and likely unconstitutional law that excludes lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender citizens from the state’s anti-discrimination protections.
Quintiles’ senior director of corporate communications Phil Bridges responded to my request for comment in an email:
It’s important to Quintiles that North Carolina be perceived as a welcoming state and a good place to work. Like many other leading global companies, we follow an anti-discrimination policy that is inclusive.
