Risk Level:

Rating - Caution
Medium Risk

Summary:

Everlane has not publicly terminated business relationships due to religious or political beliefs. Although it does vet suppliers for LGBTQ policies, it requires suppliers not to discriminate due to political opinion. That protection does not extend to Everlane employees. Everlane has funded the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and supported the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. For these reasons, Everlane receives a "Medium Risk" rating.
