Risk Level:
Summary:
Restaurant Brands International (RBI) scored a 100 out of 100 on the 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a political stakeholder group. By complying with the HRC’s controversial demands, the company increases the risk of dividing employees, alienating customers and harming shareholders. The company provides a benefits package for employees which covers transgender medical procedures for covered employees and dependents, including children. It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, marketing, and philanthropic support. RBI 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. RBI does not provide viewpoint protections for its employees but has not publicly terminated business relationships based on views or beliefs. The company integrates ESG into all of its business practices. RBI and its subsidiaries have supported and funded multiple LGBTQ ideological causes and events. The company requires implicit bias training for its employees and is committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. However, RBI does not appear to discriminate against charitable organizations based on views or beliefs. For these reasons, Restaurant Brands International receives a High Risk rating.
