Better Health for All

The company's products, specifically baby bibs, were subject to a nationwide recall of 60,000 packs between June 2004 and March 2007 due to lead contamination.

Tests showed the lead content was 16 times the allowable amount in paint and exceeded Illinois standards. Childhood exposure to lead can cause learning problems, reduced intelligence, hyperactivity, and attention deficit disorder, with no safe level of lead in blood. While no injuries were reported, and the CPSC stated there was no substantial illness risk if the bibs were in good condition, the potential for harm existed if they deteriorated. There was a lack of transparency from Hamco Inc. regarding the issue, and news reports may have misinterpreted CPSC and JPMA findings.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Crown Crafts, Inc. operates in the infant, toddler, and juvenile consumer products industry, designing and distributing items such as bedding, blankets, and feeding products.

The company does not offer financial services, lending, or deposit products to consumers. Therefore, all KPIs related to financial inclusion, pricing fairness, exploitative fees, financial literacy, debt burden, or data accessibility for financial products are not applicable to its business model. Regulatory examinations mentioned in the provided documents relate to tax matters, not fair lending practices.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Crown Crafts, Inc. reported 0% of its workforce covered by collective bargaining agreements for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2022.

The company provides medical, dental, life insurance, long-term disability, and vision benefits. With 126 employees in 2022, and these benefits being listed as general employee benefits, it is assumed to cover the majority of the workforce, placing it in the 85-90% coverage tier. The company also offers a 401k match of 3.5%. There have been no fines or violations related to labor laws in the past two years. A class action lawsuit filed in March 2013 regarding product safety was dismissed in September 2013.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

No specific, quantitative data was found in the provided articles regarding fair trade certifications, supplier audit frequency, substantiated forced or child labor incidents, supply chain traceability, median days to close corrective-action plans, percentage of supplier contracts with enforceable ethical-sourcing clauses, share of spend on high-risk materials, or procurement budget directed to diverse suppliers.

The available documents outline company standards and codes of conduct but do not provide performance metrics or outcomes for these areas.

Honest & Fair Business

Crown Crafts, Inc. has a policy against retaliation for good faith reports of misconduct, but the evidence does not provide details on its implementation, such as specific reporting channels, independent investigation processes, or training, suggesting it may be advisory only with no explicit safe-harbor guarantees.

The company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, adopted in June 2004, explicitly addresses the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and prohibits illegal payments to government officials, indicating a policy that covers domestic operations but lacks specific guidance on international and high-risk markets.

No War, No Weapons

Crown Crafts, Inc. operates in the infant, toddler, and juvenile products segment. The provided articles primarily detail an acquisition and financing, explicitly stating that no data is available regarding the company's defense contracts, dual-use technology, sales to embargoed regimes, peacebuilding investment, or other defense-related activities.

One article mentions a 'Conflict Minerals Policy' but attributes it to 'Crown Holdings, Inc. (CRWS.US)', which is a different entity from 'Crown Crafts, Inc. (CRWS.US)' as defined in the prompt, rendering that information irrelevant. Consequently, there is no specific, concrete evidence to score any of the KPIs related to the 'No War, No Weapons' value.

Planet-Friendly Business

Sustainability data for Crown Crafts, Inc. is currently unavailable.

The company's Form 10-K annual report for fiscal year 2022 explicitly states that no significant environmental or company-specific sustainability metrics are reported. Other sources also indicate that sustainability data is unavailable and no specific quantitative data related to Planet-Friendly Business metrics is provided. While the company's standards for contractors and suppliers encourage quantifiable environmental goals, including greenhouse gas emission and waste reduction, and require vendors to measure and reduce emissions, no specific data on the company's own performance or the actual disclosure/performance of its supply chain is available.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Sustainability data for Crown Crafts, Inc. (CRWS.US) is largely unavailable.

While the company introduced Sassy® Eco toys made with plastics derived from sugar cane and other plant materials, and used FSC-certified packaging paper for this specific product line, no quantitative data is provided regarding the percentage of product components that are recyclable, the overall percentage of sustainable packaging, or the recycled content percentage for the company as a whole. The company's standards for contractors and suppliers encourage them to develop quantifiable goals for recycling programs, but no specific requirements or metrics for Crown Crafts' own operations or supplier performance are detailed. No other relevant quantitative data for the assessed KPIs is available.
