Corprate Bias Ratings

Risk Level:

Rating - Caution
Medium Risk

Everlane has not publicly terminated business relationships due to views or beliefs. Though the company 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 urged its vote and engaged in activism in response to the Black Lives Matter protests. For these reasons, Everlane receives a Medium Risk rating.
