Better Health for All

Apogee's principal goods and services are architectural products, which have no significant direct positive or negative health impact. The company has no revenue from products with direct negative health outcomes. Apogee recorded an Accident Incident Rate (AIR) of 2.06 incidents per 100 employees in 2023, which is lower than the industry average of 3.40 for NAICS code 332 in 2022.

However, the company has incurred $120,912 in safety-related penalties across 14 records since 2000, including a workplace safety violation in 2023 for $7,590. Apogee does not offer health-related products or services requiring price accessibility considerations for external users, but does offer free biometric screenings and flu shots to employees. The company's business model does not involve serving vulnerable populations with health needs. Apogee's products do not carry health risks requiring disclosure or transparency to external users. The company invests in R&D for new products to meet customer performance requirements, but there is no specific allocation aimed at improving health outcomes. Apogee has incurred $51,369 in environment-related penalties across one record since 2000, including an environmental violation in 2014. Apogee's health equity programs include supporting Mind charity in June 2024 and ASIST volunteer opportunities, which are limited in scope and funding. The company offers an education assistance program and leadership development for employees, and visited four major NHS Trusts in the UK in 2023, delivering Christmas gifts and sponsoring an abseil challenge in October 2024. Apogee offers employee health programs including medical insurance, preventative care, annual biometric screenings, flu shots, and wellness education, which are substantial preventative health measures for its workforce. The company provides an employee assistance program with eight face-to-face counseling visits annually and free access to an online cognitive behavioral health program for employees. Apogee's healthcare education efforts include educating employees on safe work practices and having LEED Green Associates on staff to help customers meet green building objectives, but there is no broader investment in public health education.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Apogee Enterprises, Inc. is a provider of architectural products and services, not a financial institution. The company does not offer lending, deposit services, or consumer credit products.

Therefore, the KPIs related to financial services, such as underserved client share, pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, inclusion initiatives (financial), data accessibility (financial), fair lending compliance, wealth building outcomes, financial literacy initiatives, debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion (banking), and product simplicity (financial), are not applicable to its core business model. While the company engages in community investment, such as over $1.3 million in financial grants from 2015-2023 and over $250,000 in United Way contributions in 2023, these are general philanthropic activities and are not specified as reinvestment in community finance or profit-sharing with underserved communities as defined by the 'profit_reinvestment' KPI within the context of financial services.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Apogee Enterprises, Inc. reported a CEO pay ratio of 89:1 for fiscal year 2025, with CEO Ty R. Silberhorn's total compensation at $5,255,526 and median employee pay at $59,275.

As of March 2, 2024, approximately 8% of the company's 4,400 employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements. The company has a record of 15 safety-related offenses since 2000, totaling $120,912 in penalties, including a $7,590 workplace safety or health violation in 2023. A civil lawsuit was filed against EFCO Corp. and Apogee Enterprises in 2026, alleging racial discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, leading to an employee's termination in June 2022.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Apogee's Supplier Code of Conduct applies to all suppliers of Apogee and its subsidiaries, including Alumicor and Harmon Canada, indicating 100% coverage of contracts with ethical sourcing clauses.

For the financial year ending March 2, 2024, Apogee's subsidiaries, Alumicor and Harmon Canada, reported zero identified instances of forced or child labor in their supply chains. Apogee utilizes various tools for risk assessment, including the Responsible Sourcing Tool and the US Bureau of International Labour Affairs “Better Trade Tool”.

Kind to Animals

Apogee Enterprises, Inc. operates in the architectural products and services industry.

The provided articles do not contain any specific, concrete evidence related to animal welfare, animal testing, animal-derived ingredients, or habitat conservation directly impacting animals. Therefore, no KPIs under the 'Kind to Animals' value can be scored based on the provided information.

No War, No Weapons

Apogee Enterprises, Inc. has a publicly available Conflict Minerals Policy and is committed to complying with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule requiring disclosure of 3TG minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold) from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries.

The company's due diligence framework is designed to conform with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Apogee also states a commitment to protecting human rights across its operations and striving to treat people with dignity and respect, aligning with UN Guiding Principles.

Planet-Friendly Business

Apogee Enterprises, Inc. reported its total Scope 1 and 2 emissions for FY2023 as 127,176 MTCO₂E, establishing this as a baseline year.

However, Scope 3 emissions were not reported. All purchased electricity is from the grid, with no evidence of renewable sourcing. The company established a new water baseline in 2024 with 1904m³ of water used, but no revenue data is available to calculate water use per revenue. The company recycles hundreds of tons of materials annually, with its Linetec business unit reducing paint-related waste by over 20% in five years, and nearly 100% of that waste safely eliminated. In FY2023, 28 million pounds of aluminum scrap were recycled, with approximately 75% reused in operations, and over 40 million pounds of glass scrap are recycled annually. Two facilities, the Wausau fabrication facility and the Minneapolis corporate office, are LEED Silver Certified. All new processes, products, facilities, and technologies incorporate environmental, health, and safety planning. The company had no major environmental compliance violations reported.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

Apogee Enterprises has no reported cultural appropriation incidents.

The company's operations do not involve Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) processes, making this KPI not applicable. Apogee offers renovation solutions that maintain the historical aesthetics of buildings and uses products like Tru Vue Optium Acrylic Glazing to protect artwork, indicating active protection measures for cultural sites. The company's Code of Business Ethics and Conduct is available in multiple languages, and its Owatonna facility supports four languages, but without a comprehensive assessment score or broader evidence of language inclusivity, this falls into a lower tier. Apogee assists clients with cultural resource compliance and navigating the National Historic Preservation Act, but there is no evidence of specific funding allocated to cultural or linguistic preservation programs by the company itself.

Safe & Smart Tech

The company has not experienced any material data breaches in the last three fiscal years.

It has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2, demonstrating compliance with all 110 security controls across 14 control domains outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-171, Revision 2. This certification is held by less than 1% of companies in the Defense Industrial Base. All directors and employees receive annual training on the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, and a cybersecurity training program for all employees includes ongoing testing to evaluate effectiveness. The company uses encryption technologies to protect sensitive data both at rest and in transit. Users are informed when Automated Decision-Making and Profiling are used and can object or request human intervention. Users also have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict processing, data portability, object, and withdraw consent. The company states it is committed to full compliance with all applicable data protection laws, including GDPR. Critical vulnerabilities are patched within 7-14 days on average. External network penetration testing is conducted, and annual safety assessments are performed by each business unit.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

In 2024, the company achieved a 99% waste diversion rate, with 90% of total waste recycled and 9% reformed through incineration.

Its aluminum and glass products are fully recyclable at the end of their useful lives. Approximately 75% of recycled aluminum scrap was reused in operations in fiscal year 2023. Since 2021, over 250kg of plastic waste has been removed from beaches. Apogee clients using HP Original and Samsung cartridges can return empty cartridges for recycling through the HP Planet Partners Programme, which is available in over 70 countries. The Apogee Circular Economy (ACE) Line, relaunched in 2024, refurbishes used printers to extend their lifecycle, and 6,448 parts (8 tonnes) were harvested from old printers for reuse in 2024. The company launched a 'War on Waste' initiative in 2021 and implements a closed-loop reuse system for wooden pallets. Nearly 100% of paint-related waste is safely eliminated at Linetec, and the company has voluntarily eliminated paints containing lead, mercury, and cadmium. Apogee's architectural products are designed for longevity and durability. The Linetec business unit has reduced paint usage and waste by more than 20% over the past five years. The company has a vision to become a zero-waste organization by 2030 and collected GHG emissions and energy use data in fiscal year 2023 to establish a baseline for future reduction efforts. It tightens procurement standards and engages with suppliers to adopt more sustainable packaging. The company provides Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Declare Labels to help customers make informed decisions and offers software to clients for visibility into paper usage. There have been no waste disposal violations in the past three years.
