Risk Level:
Summary:
Gartner has not terminated business relationships due to ideological beliefs, though it does vet suppliers according to LGBTQ policies. The company does not have viewpoint protections for its employees.

For these reasons, Gartner receives a "Medium Risk" rating.

Wade was overturned, Gartner’s HR department undertook a survey to determine how many companies were willing to expand their medical benefits to cover abortion-related travel expenses.
