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:

In 2026, a consumer filed a lawsuit against Florida Crystals Corporation alleging that the company engaged in greenwashing by marketing its products as sustainably grown using practices that “help fight climate change.” The plaintiff claimed these representations were misleading. The case was later dismissed after the court found insufficient evidence to support the plaintiff’s claims (1). Florida Crystals promotes divisive sex and gender policies. Its Supplier Code of Conduct requires international vendors to include sexual orientation in their nondiscrimination policy (2). However, the company has not canceled customers, suppliers, or vendors based on political views or religious beliefs (3).

Criteria:
