Better Health for All

Boeing's core business in aerospace manufacturing has no significant direct positive or negative health impact, resulting in a neutral score for its principal goods and services. The company does not generate revenue from products with direct negative health outcomes, nor does it offer health-related products or services to the general public that would require price accessibility or reach vulnerable populations. Boeing's products do not carry health risks requiring disclosure, nor do they have addiction potential. The company is not involved in pharmaceutical patents, food production, or clinical trials. While Boeing implements various health initiatives for its employees, such as virtual care tools, fitness discounts, flu shot programs, health assessments, and customized health plans

, these are internal employee benefits. According to the value definition, these do not constitute public health equity programs, healthcare workforce support, preventative health measures, or health education for the general public. Similarly, environmental pollution control efforts are explicitly excluded from this value category. No evidence is provided regarding the company's safety record for users, health innovation investment for public benefit, mental health initiatives for the public, or healthcare data responsibility.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

The Boeing Company is an aerospace manufacturer, and the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value is designed to assess companies involved in lending, insuring, moving, or storing money. The provided articles detail Boeing's philanthropic activities, such as donating millions to nonprofits for STEM education, workforce development, and support for underserved communities (e.g., $4 million in St. Louis in 2023

, $10.6 million for racial equity in 2020 , $1.2 million in Renton in 2023 , and $2.25 million in Puget Sound in 2023 ). The company also promotes economic opportunity through its supplier diversity programs, spending over $4 billion with diverse suppliers and small businesses in 2021 . Additionally, Boeing established a $201 million Fair Fund for investors harmed by misleading statements . However, these initiatives, while contributing to economic opportunity in a general sense, do not provide specific data points that align with the financial product and service metrics (e.g., loan books, APRs, debt ratios, financial literacy program reach, or customer financial outcomes) required by the rubric's KPIs. As the articles do not contain concrete evidence pertaining to Boeing's involvement in financial services or the specific quantitative thresholds of the KPIs, all KPIs must be omitted.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

In November 2024, a seven-week strike by over 33,000 Boeing machinists, represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), concluded

. The strike began in September 2024 after workers rejected a proposed contract with a 25% pay increase over four years, demanding higher wages, improved benefits, and better working conditions . During the strike, a worker reported earning under $28 per hour and needing a second job . The new contract, accepted by 59% of union members, included a 43.65% compounded wage increase over four years, a $12,000 ratification bonus, enhanced retirement contributions, improved healthcare benefits, and reinstated annual bonuses . In April 2025, Boeing's CEO acknowledged 'serious missteps' and announced 'sweeping changes' and a 'cultural overhaul' focused on accountability and restoring trust within the organization .

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Between 2020 and 2024, 32 complaints alleging retaliation were filed, and a whistleblower was found dead amid legal proceedings against the company. Boeing's recent financial statements, as of February 2026, indicate no error corrections or restatements. The company has an anti-corruption program organized into nine areas, including comprehensive risk assessments and policy governance, with employees required to sign the Code of Conduct annually.

Kind to Animals

Boeing has argued for a lesser cleanup at its Santa Susana Field Laboratory site, stating it no longer intended to make the property clean enough for people to live on.

This stance was taken despite cleanup options potentially leaving wildlife vulnerable to cancers and reproductive issues for decades, with studies linking site contaminants to animal tumors and reproductive dysfunction. California rejected this argument but reopened negotiations. Conversely, Boeing has undertaken several conservation initiatives. It donated $1 million to the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing , and $250,000 to restore over 60 acres of salmon habitat. The company also funded loggerhead sea turtle nest protection and adopted two Philippine eagles. Boeing has preserved nearly 2,400 acres at its Santa Susana site through a conservation easement , and replanted 900 acres with native plants. It owns thousands of acres of habitat at five locations, all certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council, with three at the Gold level. Pollinator seed mixes at Santa Susana significantly increased native bee species.

No War, No Weapons

Boeing's Defense, Space & Security segment generated 36% of its total revenue in 2023, with 40% of overall revenue derived from government contracts.

Major defense contracts include a $23.8 billion agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense in 2021 for C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft support and a $14.3 billion contract in 2019 for B-1/B-52 weapons systems support.

The company invested $5.7 million through Employees Community Fund chapters and $3.8 million in disaster response and humanitarian efforts globally in 2024, totaling $9.5 million. These community initiatives do not directly address or mitigate the company's significant involvement in military manufacturing.

Planet-Friendly Business

Boeing's total Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions were 386,229,000 tCO2e in 2022, with the use of sold products (Scope 3, Category 11) accounting for over 90% of this total.

The company has maintained net-zero emissions for Scope 1 and 2 at its manufacturing and work sites for three consecutive years. While its strategy for Scope 1 and 2 emissions aligns to a 1.5 degrees Celsius global warming potential scenario with a 55% reduction target from 2017 by 2030, these targets are not explicitly stated as SBTi-validated. In 2023, 39% of Boeing's operational energy was sourced from renewable electricity. In 2022, 82% of solid waste was recycled, reused, and composted. Boeing incurred one environmental health and safety penalty of $16,985.09 in 2023. The company publishes a TCFD Report and uses its Cascade Climate Impact Model to analyze 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius climate scenarios. In 2023, 12% of total water withdrawal was from areas with water stress. Boeing also engages in climate justice initiatives through partnerships, such as with River LA and DigDeep on the Navajo Water Project.

. The Boeing Employees Indigenous Network (BE-IN) fosters awareness of Native American and Indigenous cultures within Boeing , encourages STEM careers for Indigenous youth , and supports the Boys & Girls Club – Native Services to improve Indigenous youth representation in STEM industries . Boeing also made donations of $1.8 million in 2021 and committed $1.3 million in 2020 to support Indigenous communities in the U.S., focusing on areas such as clean water, COVID-19 resources, disaster response, STEM education, and veteran training .
