Summary
Coors Brewing Company operates as a subsidiary of Molson Coors Beverage Company, which is already rated 9/9 on CYD as a whole. Coors Brewing specifically was historically associated with anti-gay policies in the 1970s-80s, later reversed, and Molson Coors has maintained some DEI programs. Following the 2023 Bud Light boycott, Molson Coors benefited from consumer redirection but the parent’s DEI rollback context applies.
