Rationale
Corporate Weaponization
Criteria

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.

Risk Level
Rationale

Global Payments, the parent company of TSYS, received a score of 100 on the Corporate Equality Index from the Human Rights Campaign (1). Among other requirements, this means the company has pledged to vet vendors for LGBTQ policies. However, neither TSYS nor Global Payments has a history of terminating business relationships for political or religious reasons.

Charitable giving (including employee matching programs) policies or practices discriminate against charitable organizations based on views or religious beliefs.

Risk Level
Rationale

The TSYS 2018 Global Citizenship Report details the company’s charitable cooperation with House of Mercy, a religiously-affiliated food pantry (1). However, it is unclear whether the company had continued to engage in independent charitable giving since its acquisition by Global Payments in 2019.
