Better Health for All

Camtek's core business involves automatic optical inspection systems for semiconductors, PCBs, and IC substrates, which detect defective components.

These products are considered to have no significant positive or negative direct health impact. The company reports that its operations are non-polluting, with no greenhouse gases, air pollutants, or environmental nuisances released during the product manufacturing process, and facilities do not adversely affect surrounding biodiversity. There is no evidence of revenue from products with negative health outcomes. The company does not offer health-related products or services requiring accessibility considerations, nor does it collect or manage health-related data. Its operations are not directly relevant to health crisis response, pharmaceutical patents, nutrition, food safety, health education, addiction mitigation, or clinical trials.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Camtek reported zero safety-related accidents or illnesses for 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The company also reported no breaches of ethical or business conduct for 2022 and 2023, and zero incidents of discrimination for 2022, 2023, and 2024. Camtek subsidizes complementary private health insurance for workers and their families in Israel and abroad, covering approximately 100% of its workforce.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

The provided ESG report from Camtek outlines general commitments to environmental, social, and governance principles, including a conflict minerals policy, social responsibility initiatives, and a code of ethics.

It also notes ISO certifications (ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 9001). However, the report explicitly states that it does not provide specific quantitative data points for fair trade certifications, supplier audit frequency, forced or child labor incidents, supply chain traceability, remediation speed, ethical clause coverage in supplier contracts, the share of spend on high-risk materials, or procurement budget directed to diverse suppliers. Therefore, no KPIs for Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing can be scored based on the available evidence.

Honest & Fair Business

No specific, concrete data points were found in the provided articles for any of the 'Honest & Fair Business' KPIs. Information regarding regulatory fines, transparency index scores, whistleblower policy details, financial restatements, audit coverage, ESG controversy scores, complaint resolution times, board conflict-free percentages, anti-corruption policy strength, or the extent of third-party verification of ethical claims was not explicitly stated or quantifiable.

While a code of ethics and business conduct was mentioned, and ISO certifications for management systems were noted, these did not provide the specific, quantifiable evidence required by the rubric for the respective KPIs.

Kind to Animals

Camtek Ltd. operates in the semiconductor inspection equipment industry, a sector that does not typically involve animal testing, animal-derived products, or animal agriculture. The company's products and activities are explicitly stated not to include animal testing or fur and specialty leather.

Its facilities are reported not to adversely affect surrounding biodiversity. There is no evidence of animal husbandry, animal-derived inputs, or specific animal welfare audits for suppliers. The company's public policy engagement focuses on conflict minerals sourcing, not animal welfare.

No War, No Weapons

Camtek's core business is the development and manufacture of inspection and metrology equipment for the semiconductor industry, which is a civilian sector, with no evidence of revenue from arms or defense contracts, nor any dual-use products.

The Board of Directors can receive reports regarding the Conflict Minerals Policy, but there is no defense business for the board to oversee. Camtek supports the aims of the Dodd-Frank Act concerning conflict minerals and educates its suppliers on due diligence, but specific adherence to humanitarian procurement standards is not detailed. Policies, including those for human rights, are monitored periodically and reviewed annually. The company commits to acting in a socially and environmentally responsible manner and expects its partners to do the same, with a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct published. Camtek commits to disclosing the progress of its Conflict Minerals Policy implementation in annual sustainability reports, but no results of annual reviews of conflict-linked partners are published. The company requires suppliers of tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold to source from environmentally and socially responsible sources compliant with the Dodd-Frank Act and not from conflict areas in the DRC, but no percentage of the supply chain certified conflict-free is provided. In 2024, 81% of procurement was from local (Israel) suppliers. There were no reported breaches of ethical or business conduct in 2023.

Planet-Friendly Business

The provided article does not contain specific quantitative data for any of the environmental metrics, such as Scope 1-3 emissions, renewable energy usage, water consumption, or waste diversion.

There is also no information regarding net-zero targets, regulatory actions, violations, fines, or compliance issues. While Camtek holds ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 9001 certifications, these are management system certifications and do not provide the specific quantitative data required to score against the defined KPI thresholds in this rubric.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

Camtek reported no cultural appropriation incidents.

The company's headquarters in Israel employed 332 out of 657 total employees in 2024, representing 50.53% of its workforce. Formal grievance mechanisms for community concerns are available through the Board of Directors, non-executive members, subcommittees, regular sourcing channels, or direct contact, and policies are reviewed annually. In 2024, 81% of Camtek’s procurement budget was spent on local suppliers in Israel, following 84% in 2023 and 85% in 2022.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Camtek Ltd. reported a waste diversion rate of 28.5% in 2024, based on 49.8 tons of cardboard packaging collected for recycling out of a total of 174.7 tons of reported cardboard and mixed waste.

The company states it uses no hazardous substances in its production process and has no hazardous materials in its facility. Camtek has a conflict minerals policy and is increasing efforts to assess the social and environmental actions of its suppliers, having reviewed four main suppliers covering 49% of its procurement budget in 2022, all of whom had robust ESG policies. However, the company does not have formal waste reduction targets, only vague statements about future considerations for waste minimization.
