Organization
Carlsberg received an overall Lower Risk rating because it largely avoids using corporate governance to advance partisan or divisive political causes, and it generally refrains from prioritizing identity-based policies over merit. However, the company still shows notable weakness in employment protection, which was flagged as High Risk, even as its cancellation, philanthropy, and funding practices scored well.
