Qualtrics
Risk Level:
Summary:
While Qualtrics has not terminated business relationships due to ideological beliefs, it has pledged to vet suppliers according to ideological beliefs in the future. Qualtrics does not have viewpoint protections for its employees. Qualtrics has mandatory unconscious bias training for employees, covers travel for abortion, and encourages its customers to donate to ideological groups hostile to freedom of expression, such as Black Lives Matter (BLM). For these reasons, Qualtrics receives a "Medium Risk" rating.
Has denied service to customers, suppliers, or vendors due to their political views or religious beliefs OR corporately boycotts, divests, or sanctions regions, people groups, or industries.
In 2022, Qualtrics announced its intention to achieve a score of 100 on the Corporate Equality Index from the Human Rights Campaign, despite having a current score of 95 (1)(2). Among other requirements, this means the company will soon pledge to vet vendors for LGBTQ policies. However, Qualtrics has not publicly terminated business relationships for political reasons.
Charitable giving (including employee matching programs) policies or practices discriminate against charitable organizations based on views or religious beliefs.
Qualtrics seems to give charitably on an occasional, case-by-case basis (1). As such, Qualtrics does not have a written rule prohibiting charitable cooperation with religious organizations.
Employment policies fail to protect against discrimination based on political affiliation/views and/or religion.
Qualtrics does not protect employees from viewpoint discrimination (1).
Uses corporate reputation to support ideological causes and/or organizations hostile to freedom of expression.
Uses corporate funds to advance ideological causes, organizations, or policies hostile to freedom of expression.
Qualtrics made a direct donation of $100,000 to BLM and matched all employee donations to the organization for a three-month span in 2020 (1). After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Qualtrics announced that it would expand its medical benefits to cover up to $4,000 per employee in abortion-related travel expenses (2).
Uses corporate political contributions for ideological, non-business purposes.
Qualtrics does not make any political contributions at this time.
