Better Health for All

Advantage Solutions' core business activities, which involve sales, marketing, and technology solutions for consumer goods, do not have a direct positive or negative health impact, nor do they involve health-related products requiring pricing accessibility, risk transparency, or direct service to vulnerable populations. The company does not engage in pharmaceutical patents, nutrition/food safety (as a producer), addiction mitigation, or clinical trials. It also does not directly engage in healthcare workforce support, data responsibility, or global health crisis response. The company has invested $250,000 in Feeding America's Food Security Equity Impact Fund and pledged $500,000 over five years to the Urban League's Save Our Sisters program.

These initiatives address food security and women's holistic well-being, including mind and body wellness. With over 70,000 employees, the total investment of $750,000 represents less than 0.5% of its estimated annual revenue (assuming a conservative $2 billion revenue, 0.0375%). This level of funding for health equity programs, while positive, is considered limited with modest funding and narrow scope, mapping to a score of -80. The Urban League's program includes mind and body wellness, which indirectly supports mental health, but the company's business activities do not substantially affect mental health outcomes, resulting in a neutral score for mental health initiatives. Similarly, support for women's economic mobility through the Urban League can indirectly improve health outcomes, but the company does not directly engage in preventative health measures, leading to a neutral score.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Advantage Solutions Inc. is a business solutions provider offering sales, marketing, and technology services to consumer goods manufacturers and retailers.

The company's operations do not involve the procurement or trading of physical commodities or materials. Therefore, the KPIs related to fair trade certifications, supplier audits for welfare or sourcing, exposure to upstream labor practices, supply chain traceability, remediation processes for sourcing violations, ethical sourcing clauses in contracts, and high-risk material sourcing are not applicable to its business model. Similarly, while the company may have general procurement, there is no evidence to suggest it engages in procurement activities relevant to the 'supplier_diversity_spend' KPI within the context of ethical sourcing of goods. No articles provide specific data points for any of the ethical sourcing KPIs for Advantage Solutions Inc.

Kind to Animals

Advantage Solutions Inc. is a business solutions provider, primarily offering sales, marketing, and technology services. The company explicitly states 'No' involvement in animal testing and 'No' involvement in fur and specialty leather.

Given its service-oriented business model, the company does not engage in activities such as product manufacturing that would require cruelty-free certifications, animal testing, sourcing of animal-derived ingredients, or animal agriculture operations. Therefore, all KPIs related to animal welfare practices are not applicable to its core business.

Planet-Friendly Business

Advantage Solutions has SBTi-validated targets through a streamlined process for SMEs.

The company has no mentioned regulatory actions, violations, fines, or compliance issues.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

The provided articles indicate ADV.US has a commitment to inclusion, diversity, and community engagement, and reports a 'None' controversy level.

The company also made contributions to Feeding America, resulting in 1.1 million meals. However, the articles explicitly state a lack of specific quantitative data for all the detailed metrics related to 'Respect for Cultures & Communities', such as the number of formal partnerships with indigenous groups, percentage of revenue reinvested locally, cultural appropriation incidents, or cultural impact assessment protocols. Therefore, no specific KPIs can be scored based on the evidence provided.

Safe & Smart Tech

Advantage Solutions Inc. and its affiliates have a privacy policy outlining user rights to access, correct, and delete data, and mention compliance with CCPA/CPRA and other laws.

AdvantageCS, an entity related to the company, trains employees on data privacy policies, implements multi-factor authentication and user log-in limits, and states that its personnel do not share or transfer client data without permission. The Advantage database is designed with data protection in mind, including duplicate consolidation and limited personal identifier locations. AdvantageCS also aims for GDPR and PA-DSS compliance. The company utilizes a security awareness training platform that includes baseline testing, simulated phishing attacks, and enterprise-strength reporting, with post-training assessments and evaluations to measure effectiveness.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

No specific, quantitative data related to waste diversion rates, product recyclability, packaging sustainability, recycled content, single-use plastic reduction, take-back programs, circular design principles, waste reduction initiatives, hazardous waste management, product durability, repairability, waste audit frequency, zero-waste certification, waste disposal violations, material efficiency, packaging-to-product ratio, waste reduction targets, supplier waste requirements, or customer waste education was found in the provided articles for Advantage Solutions Inc.

The articles primarily focused on financial results and general ESG commitments, or carbon emission targets, none of which provide measurable metrics for the 'Zero Waste & Sustainable Products' value.
