Fitch Group forces employees to undergo multiple ideological trainings and uses its reputation, corporate funds, and political influence to support controversial sex and gender ideologies, organizations, and legislation.

The company has stated that it is "committed" to the proliferation of ESG practices in the private sector. For these reasons, Fitch earns a High Risk rating.
