Consolidated Nuclear Security

Rating Overview

Consolidated Nuclear Security is Medium Risk.

Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (CNS), which operates the Y-12 National Security Complex, is Medium Risk. The company often yields to political activism in shaping corporate governance, potentially alienating consumers, dividing employees, and harming shareholders. The company elevates merit, excellence, and integrity ahead of race and identity-based policies. CNS 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.
