Rating Criteria Detail

Criteria Risk Level Rationale

Corporate Weaponization

Criteria:

Has canceled 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:

Lower

Rationale:

ASRC has not publicly canceled customers, suppliers, or vendors based on political views or religious beliefs (1). The company has received various contracts from the U.S. government through programs intended for minorities, and while the ASRC’s shares are owned by Inupiaq natives in Alaska, ASRC’s CEO, Jennifer Felix, subcontracted out $3.5 million worth of these government contracts to companies associated with her husband, none of which are owned by minorities. According to ASRC, “Any characterization or suggestion that ASRC Federal has improperly steered contracts to its leadership’s family members is materially false” (2).

ASRC does not appear to discriminate against charitable organizations based on views or beliefs(1).

Criteria:

Employment policies fail to protect against viewpoint or other discrimination and/or are ideological in nature.

Risk Level:

Medium

Rationale:

ASRC does not publish a nondiscrimination policy (1).
