Better Health for All

FACC AG is an aerospace company specializing in aircraft components. Its core products and services have no direct positive or negative health impact, resulting in a neutral score for health impact and harmful revenue share. The company's business model does not involve health-related products, services, or research, making KPIs such as price accessibility, vulnerable reach, health innovation investment, and clinical trial ethics not applicable. While FACC has internal health and safety programs for employees (e.g., LTIFR of 11.4 in 2024 for Austrian sites

, ISO 45001 certification , GDPR compliance for employee data , and general diversity initiatives), these fall under workplace safety and worker rights, which are explicitly excluded from the 'Better Health for All' value as defined by the rubric.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

FACC AG is an aerospace company specializing in aircraft components, not a financial institution.

The ethical value 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' and its associated KPIs are designed to assess companies engaged in lending, insuring, moving, or storing money for consumers or underserved communities. As FACC AG does not operate in these areas, there is no relevant evidence in the provided articles to score any of the KPIs. Information such as 'Investments in the community' is too general to be specifically interpreted as 'community finance' as required by the rubric, and internal diversity initiatives do not equate to financial inclusion programs for external clients. Therefore, all KPIs are omitted as they are not applicable to the company's core business.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

FACC AG reported 0% of its workforce on temporary or non-guaranteed hour contracts in 2024.

The company also had zero incidents of discrimination, zero complaints filed through internal channels, and zero material fines for social and human rights violations in 2024. The CEO to median employee remuneration ratio (S1-16.97b) ranged from 2.68 to 12.61 across its global operations in 2024, with the highest ratio being 12.61 in India. Collective bargaining agreements cover 80-100% of employees in Austria, which constitutes approximately 80.4% of the total workforce, indicating at least 64.3% global coverage. However, the male-female pay equity ratio for white-collar employees was as low as 0.709 in the USA in 2024. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) for Austrian sites was 11.4 in 2024. Voluntary employee turnover rates reached 29.59% in the USA in 2024.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

FACC reports zero substantiated forced or child labor incidents for 2024 and previous years, supported by a zero-tolerance policy, regular audits, and monitoring in high-risk regions.

The company's Code of Conduct applies to its entire supply chain, and ethical standards are incorporated into contracts, making the Supplier Code of Conduct binding for direct suppliers and reviewed through regular supplier audits. FACC conducts annual desktop and on-site audits for its suppliers.

Honest & Fair Business

FACC AG reported zero financial penalties for violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws in the 2024 financial year, and zero ethics-related regulatory fines for the past three years.

Sustainalytics reports FACC's "Controversy Level: None." All 100% of the Supervisory Board members have declared independence from the company and its Management Board. FACC has a Code of Conduct establishing a zero-tolerance policy towards bribery and corruption, explicitly refraining from facilitation payments. This policy includes regular risk-based training and self-assessments for high-risk areas, and the robustness of the compliance management system is assessed annually through external audits. A comprehensive whistleblower system, in operation since December 2021, includes a secure hotline, anonymous reporting, and protection against retaliation for employees and external stakeholders. However, zero complaints were filed through channels for own workers in 2024, and no reports were made in 2021.

Kind to Animals

FACC AG specializes in aerospace components, a sector not typically associated with animal welfare issues such as animal testing, animal agriculture, or animal-derived ingredients. The provided articles focus on financial performance, general environmental sustainability (e.g., renewable electricity, recycling), and broader CSR initiatives (e.g., supplier audits for general CSR, not specifically animal welfare). By 2022, FACC aimed to audit its top 50 suppliers with regard to CSR.

The audits will then be continuously extended to all other FACC suppliers, and the results will be included in future supplier ratings. Consequently, there is no explicit information or specific data points in the articles that are relevant to any of the 'Kind to Animals' KPIs.

No War, No Weapons

FACC pursues a strategy of not offering or handling any military goods, aligning with a clear corporate ban on military sales.

Consequently, there are no defense assets to divest, and no specific weapons-related ethical red lines or exposure to controversial weapons are needed. The company screens business partners against global sanctions lists and issues automated blocking notices for destinations in embargoed countries, which are then manually checked. Dual-use goods are evaluated on a case-by-case basis with blocking signals. FACC's Supplier Code of Conduct includes adherence to internationally recognized human rights and ILO conventions. The company reported zero identified violations of these standards in the past financial year (2021) and zero violations of its Code of Conduct in 2023. The Management Board addresses export control at the highest level. Annual reviews for conflict minerals and ongoing screening for sanctioned entities are in place.

Planet-Friendly Business

In 2024, 58.87% of FACC's total energy consumption was sourced from renewables

, with 100% green electricity and 98% of space heating from geothermal or heat recovery . For 2021, water withdrawn per revenue was 109.35 m³ per EUR 1 million. FACC achieved a 35% recycling rate for fiber composites. The company reported no environmental compliance violations in 2021. FACC's carbon reduction targets are not science-based. The company has a target to achieve carbon-neutral production by 2040 , with an interim goal of a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 relative to 2005. TCFD alignment is planned, with climate risk analysis to be included in the 2025 report. FACC developed four future energy supply scenarios , but has not yet conducted a comprehensive climate risk analysis. FACC is planning extensive retraining and further training programs for employees to succeed in a low-carbon economy.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

and event visitor images for up to 20 years. The company explicitly states compliance with GDPR, referencing specific articles, and adheres to Austrian regulations including the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, Austrian Stock Exchange Act, the Austrian Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act (NaDiVeG), and the Austrian Corporate Governance Code (ÖCGK). Its non-financial report is prepared in accordance with Austrian Commercial Code § 267a and aligned with European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

FACC explicitly states that it currently does not incorporate recycled content into its products, and the percentage of recyclable content in its products and packaging is 0%.

Despite this, the company reports a 35% recycling rate for Aerostructures, Engines & Nacelles, and Cabin Interiors. FACC has implemented over 10 waste reduction initiatives, including using recycled cardboard and air cushion foil with 40% recycled content for packaging, and exploring carbon fiber recycling. These efforts have resulted in annual CO2 savings of over 400 tons from eco-liners and 40 tons from air cushion foil, and a 50% reduction in packaging effort at a new packing table. The company manages hazardous waste by collecting, monitoring, and managing nearly all Substances of Concern (SoC) and Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in strict compliance with internal standards. FACC has reported zero waste disposal violations for 2021, 2022, and 2024. The company demonstrates material efficiency through a 20% weight reduction in components using composite materials compared to aluminum alternatives. FACC has set waste reduction targets, including achieving carbon-neutral manufacturing by 2040 and a 2% recycling rate for thermoplastics in the next product generation. Circular design principles are integrated through advancing modular products, design-for-recycling, and researching thermoplastic remanufacturing. Most components are designed to last over 20 years, aligning with the typical service life of an aircraft. Suppliers are subject to comprehensive audits and assessments, including checks for waste management practices and ISO 14001 certification for 150 of its top 250 suppliers.
