Berry Global
Risk Level:
Summary:
Berry Global has not used corporate dollars or its reputation to support ideological causes or groups hostile to freedom of expression. While there was an incident in 2011 involving alleged religious discrimination, this case appears to be a middle-level management issue and not reflective of company culture. For these reasons, Berry Global receives a "Lower Risk" rating.
Has denied service to customers, suppliers, or vendors due to their political views or religious beliefs OR corporately boycotts, divests, or sanctions regions, people groups, or industries.
Charitable giving (including employee matching programs) policies or practices discriminate against charitable organizations based on views or religious beliefs.
Berry Global does not give “monetary support” to “churches, synagogues, and other houses of religious worship.” However, the same grant application page states that Berry will consider ALL 501(c)(3) nonprofits for grants, which theoretically includes the charitable services hosted by many houses of worship (1). Additionally, there is a record of Berry Global having donated to churches in the past, indicating that the corporation donates to houses of worship that engage in community work under a separate 501(c)(3) status (2).
Employment policies fail to protect against discrimination based on political affiliation/views and/or religion.
Uses corporate reputation to support ideological causes and/or organizations hostile to freedom of expression.
Berry Global has not taken any public stances on political issues.
Uses corporate funds to advance ideological causes, organizations, or policies hostile to freedom of expression.
