Concentrix - 1792 Exchange

Rating Overview

Concentrix is Medium Risk.

Concentrix Corporation 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. The company 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.

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:

Medium

Rationale:

Concentrix integrates ESG into its business practices. From its ESG Policy: “By implementing ongoing training programs to enhance awareness and understanding of ESG principles among our game-changers, we aim to foster a culture of collective responsibility. Through these initiatives, our game-changers will be better equipped to integrate ESG considerations into their daily responsibilities, driving positive change” (1). The company integrates DEI into its supply chain. From its Supplier Code of Conduct: “Concentrix also expects each Supplier to cascade similar expectations in its own supply chains:
• Diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workforce
• Diverse-owned businesses such as Minority/Veteran-Owned Businesses and Women Owned Businesses in its supply chain” (2). Concentrix promotes divisive sex and gender policies. Its Global Supplier Code of Conduct requires international vendors to include sexual orientation in their nondiscrimination policy (3). Convergys, a subsidiary of Concentrix, received a score of 30 on the 2025 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a political stakeholder group. The company recruits employees based on sexual identity issues. The company discriminates against vendors that do not promote divisive sex and gender policies, indicating it prioritizes sexual issues over merit (4)(5). However, the company has not publicly canceled customers, suppliers, or vendors based on political views or religious beliefs (6).

Criteria:

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

Risk Level:

High

Rationale:

Concentrix does not appear to discriminate against charitable organizations based on views or beliefs (1)(2). Convergys’ HRC 2025 CEI rating indicates the company will not donate to non-religious charities unless they embrace controversial sexual identity policies (3)(4).

Criteria:

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

Risk Level:

High

Rationale:

Concentrix requires its managers to take DEI inclusivity training (1). The company appears to prioritize diversity over merit in its leadership composition. From its 2026 Proxy Statement: “The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board may consider diversity of professional experiences and expertise, cultural background, race, ethnicity, gender, and age in evaluating candidates for Board
membership” (2). Concentrix does not provide viewpoint protections for its employees (3).

From its ESG Policy: “To operationalize these values, our organization aims to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion through the implementation of specific policies and programs” (2). Concentrix supports ESG within its business practices. From its ESG Policy: “The overall responsibility for Concentrix’s ESG Program belongs to the Global ESG Director under the Global ESG Team and under the executive responsibility of the

In 2022, Concentrix was awarded the Gold Brandon Hall award for Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion Strategy (5). The company uses its social media to support LGBTQ Pride Month (6)(7)(8).
