Corprate Bias Ratings

Risk Level:

Rating - Caution
Medium Risk

DoorDash vets vendors according to LGBTQ policies and does not provide its employees with protections against viewpoint discrimination, though the company has not publicly terminated business relationships based on views or beliefs. DoorDash provides reimbursement for out-of-state abortion costs and covers the cost of "medically necessary transition-related care" for its employees and their children. The company pledged $1 million to BLM and related causes, is a corporate sponsor of the HRC, and a corporate partner of the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce. For these reasons, DoorDash receives a "Medium Risk" rating.
