Summary:

Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) has not publicly terminated business relationships due to ideological differences, though it does vet suppliers for their LGBTQ protections and environmental impact. Though FIS has briefly outlined its commitment to ESG practices and its subsidiary Worldpay has signed the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion pledge, FIS has not used corporate dollars to support groups hostile to freedom of expression. For these reasons, FIS receives a "Lower Risk" rating.
