Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

CLPS Incorporation is an IT, consulting, and solutions service provider to financial institutions.

The provided articles do not contain specific, concrete data points for any of the KPIs under the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value. While the company has an acquired College of Allied Educators and received recognition for a Professional Talent Development Training Camp, there is no evidence linking these to financial literacy programs for consumers or specific reach and outcome metrics. Similarly, its global operations and provision of turn-key financial solutions are not tied to specific metrics for geographic inclusion or product simplicity as defined by the rubric's thresholds. The company's core business is IT services, not direct consumer financial products, which means many KPIs related to lending, fees, and customer outcomes are not applicable and lack direct evidence.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

The company's Glassdoor overall rating is 3.8 out of 5, which translates to an employee engagement score of 76/100.

No specific quantitative data was provided for living wage coverage, CEO-median pay ratio, collective bargaining share, safety incident rate, pay equity ratio, turnover rate, labor violation incidents, insecure contract share, or health insurance coverage. While the company states it strives to provide a safe working environment, maintain a workplace free of discrimination, and has a Code of Ethics with reporting procedures for violations, no specific metrics or incident counts were reported to assess these areas.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

CLPS Incorporation is an IT service provider.

As such, it does not procure or trade physical commodities. Therefore, KPIs related to fair-trade certification, forced/child labor incidents in upstream supply chains, and materials risk index are not applicable to its direct operations. No evidence was found for other KPIs related to ethical sourcing.

Honest & Fair Business

This pattern indicates multiple financial restatements annually.

Kind to Animals

There is no evidence in the provided articles to suggest that CLPS Incorporation manufactures physical products, engages in animal testing, uses animal-derived ingredients, operates animal agriculture, or has operations that directly impact wildlife habitats. Therefore, all KPIs related to animal welfare are not applicable to the company's business activities.

No War, No Weapons

CLPS (referred to as CLP) owns, operates, and maintains electrical distribution systems for military bases around the United States through utility privatization contracts with the federal government.

The company also supports military associations including the Association of the United States Army (AUSA), the Air Force Association (AFA), the Association of the United States Navy (AUSN), and the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME). However, no specific quantitative data points, such as percentages of revenue from defense contracts, investment in dual-use technologies, or details on peacebuilding initiatives, were provided in the articles to score any of the KPIs against the rubric's defined thresholds.

Planet-Friendly Business

CLPS Incorporation sourced 28% of its operational energy consumption from renewables in 2024.

CLPS, through its subsidiary RiDiK, conducts regular compliance checks for a broad range of standards including ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, FFIEC, SOX, PCI-DSS, RBI Guidelines, and CERT-In, and ensures compliance with APAC cybersecurity standards.

This indicates a good compliance program with all required and potentially some voluntary certifications. The company also demonstrates good vulnerability management, with a dedicated role responsible for monitoring vendor security bulletins, Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) databases, and threat intelligence feeds to identify and prioritize critical vulnerabilities, and ensuring patches are deployed within defined service-level agreements (SLAs). Furthermore, the Information Technology Security Officer role requires familiarity with vulnerability assessment/penetration testing (VAPT), indicating standard security testing practices.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Based on the provided articles, there is insufficient evidence to assess CLPS Incorporation's performance regarding zero waste and sustainable products. The articles focus on general topics such as the UN Global Compact, AI, and data management, but do not contain any specific information about CLPS's waste management practices, product recyclability, or sustainable packaging initiatives.

, , Therefore, a neutral score of 0 is assigned due to the lack of relevant data. The materiality analysis indicates that CLPS's business model has a low level of materiality to this value.
