Vigeo Eiris upgrades scores for Amazon, Expedia & Microsoft following legal actions by companies against travel ban

"Vigeo Eiris issues a positive alert on three US companies taking legal actions against President's anti-immigration decree ("Muslim ban")", 3rd Februrary 2017

Vigeo Eiris issued a positive alert upgrading the scores of...Amazon, Expedia and Microsoft...following their decision to take legal action against President Donald Trump's "immigration ban"... This upgrade reflects [their] increased confidence in the willingness and capacity of [all three companies] to integrate within their strategies and managerial processes the prevention of human rights violations. This includes direct and indirect violations, by omission or complicity, the respect of individual freedoms (i.e. freedom of movement) and non-discrimination related to origins, beliefs and opinion. Amazon, Expedia and Microsoft are…the first US major companies to have announced their support of the lawsuit that was filed by Washington state. Vigeo Eiris had issued a similar positive alert on Google…following the company's decision to implement a phone service enabling people living in Egypt to bypass the Internet censorship set by the government.
