Sunrise Banks - 1792 Exchange

Corporate Bias Rating

Expand Summary

Risk Level:

Medium Risk

Summary:

Sunrise Banks is Medium Risk. The company often yields to political activism in shaping corporate governance, potentially alienating consumers, dividing employees, and harming shareholders. The company implements race and identity-based policies that replace merit, excellence, and integrity with preferential treatment and outcomes. Sunrise Banks occasionally embraces corporate initiatives that redirect its central focus from business goals to partisan policies and divisive issues at times. This approach fails to safeguard free exercise, free speech, and free enterprise.
