Exact Sciences Corporation

Rating Overview

Exact Sciences Corporation is Medium Risk.

Exact Sciences 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 elevates merit, excellence, and integrity ahead of race and identity-based policies. Exact Sciences 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:

Exact Sciences promotes divisive sex and gender policies. Its Vendor Code of Conduct requires international vendors to include sexual orientation and gender identification in their nondiscrimination policy (1). However, it has not publicly canceled customers, suppliers, or vendors based on political views or religious beliefs.

Criteria:

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

Risk Level:

High

Rationale:

Exact Sciences likely uses Benevity as its charitable giving platform. Benevity vets charities according to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hate List, which includes mainstream libertarian, conservative, family, and religious advocacy organizations (1)(2)(3). Its charitable giving focuses on “addressing health equity, creating inclusive career opportunities, and partnering with those that make our communities strong” (4).

Criteria:

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

Risk Level:

High

Rationale:

Exact Sciences offers educational courses on racism, unconscious bias, gender expression, and gender identity (1). Exact Sciences does not provide viewpoint protections for its employees (2).
