San Francisco, CA – September 2, 2008 – Esurance, the
direct-to-consumer personal auto insurance company, proudly announced that it
has earned the top rating of 100% in the 2009 Corporate Equality Index (CEI).
Esurance has now received this honor for the second year in a row. The CEI is an
annual survey administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. Esurance
joins the ranks of 259 other major U.S. businesses that get top marks for their

consumers.
Gary Tolman, Esurance CEO, stated, "Esurance is honored to
achieve 100% from the Human Rights Campaign for our second year. Good business
is all about treating all of our associates and customers fairly and equally,
and we are very proud to be included in the ranks of the great businesses
honored by the Human Rights Campaign."
The CEI rated 583 businesses in total, evaluating
LGBT-related policies and practices including non-discrimination policies,
transgender health benefits, and domestic partner benefits. Esurance's efforts
in ensuring LGBT equality in each of the survey's main criterion earned it the
prestigious 100 percent ranking.
