Better Health for All

Diodes Incorporated manufactures semiconductor components.

The provided articles, a promotional piece for a distributor and a product catalog, contain no specific, factual evidence regarding the company's direct health impact, safety record, health-related initiatives, investments, or programs. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the provided information.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Diodes Incorporated is a semiconductor manufacturer and does not offer lending, deposit, or other financial services to consumers.

The company's core business lies outside finance. Therefore, all KPIs related to financial products, services, and customer financial outcomes are not applicable. The company does not have customer demographics from underserved segments, pricing structures for financial products, revenue from high-cost financial products, or loan books for inclusion initiatives. There is no customer finance data to manage for portability, nor is the company regulated as a lender with fair-lending compliance history. The company does not directly impact customer credit or savings outcomes, provide financial education programs, offer debt products, or operate financial service access points. No financial products are offered that require disclosure or explanation. While the company reported US$724,740 in charitable giving in 2023, this is not classified as reinvestment in community finance or profit-sharing with underserved communities in the context of financial services.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Diodes Incorporated reported a CEO-to-median employee pay ratio of 177:1 in 2024, with the CEO earning $4,823,227 and the median employee earning $27,315.

For its UK operations, Diodes Semiconductors GB Limited reported a median gender pay gap of 23.1% as of April 5, 2024, meaning women earn 76.9% of men's median pay. Diodes Zetex Semiconductors Limited reported a median gender pay gap of 11.02% on the same date, meaning women earn 88.98% of men's median pay. In 2024, Diodes Europe launched an Employee Engagement Survey, with plans to launch a global survey to all employees. The company reported 771 temporary workers in 2024. Diodes provides competitive insurance coverage through partnerships with premier carriers at most sites and offers access to an annual physical examination benefit to most employees worldwide.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

The provided articles do not contain specific, quantitative data points for any of the KPIs related to Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing. While Diodes Incorporated expresses a commitment to ethical sourcing, adherence to the RBA Code of Conduct, and due diligence for conflict minerals (tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold, cobalt, and mica), no percentages for fair-trade certified spend, audit frequencies, incident counts for forced or child labor, traceability coverage, remediation speeds, ethical clause coverage in contracts, or the share of spend on high-risk materials are provided.

Similarly, there is no data on supplier diversity spend. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the evidence provided.

Honest & Fair Business

Diodes Incorporated has a seven-member board, with six independent directors, resulting in approximately 85.7% independent directors.

The company has a formal whistleblower policy that includes a third-party operated hotline (NAVEX Global) and an online reporting system for anonymous reports, but there is no evidence regarding the independence of the investigation processes. An anti-corruption policy (DIC-909) is referenced, but the evidence does not detail the frequency or effectiveness metrics of its training. The use of a third-party hotline for anonymous reporting is mentioned, but there is no broader evidence of independent verification for other ethical claims or compliance.

Kind to Animals

Diodes Incorporated is a semiconductor manufacturer, and its core business model does not involve animal-derived products, animal testing, animal husbandry, or animal agriculture.

Therefore, several KPIs related to these activities are not applicable. There is no evidence provided regarding wildlife conservation initiatives or specific animal welfare compliance in supplier audits, leading to the omission of those KPIs.

No War, No Weapons

The company states it conducts no political advocacy or lobbying.

For conflict minerals, the 2024 report identifies 174 3TG smelters or refiners in its supply chain, all conformant with RMAP or equivalent programs. However, the report does not provide a percentage of conflict-free minerals sourced and notes difficulty in identifying actors upstream from direct suppliers due to supply chain complexity.

Planet-Friendly Business

Diodes Incorporated reported combined Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions of 423,882 metric tons CO₂e in 2023.

Scope 3 emissions have not yet been calculated. The company does not have SBTi-validated targets, though it plans to introduce them within the next two years. In 2023, 21.41% of total energy consumption was from renewable sources. The company diverted 60% of hazardous waste and 46% of non-hazardous waste from disposal in 2023. Approximately 56% of water withdrawal in 2023 was from regions with High or Extremely High Baseline Water Stress. Diodes Incorporated discloses in accordance with TCFD standards. The company paid a $229,456 civil penalty for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act's accident prevention provisions at a former facility.

Safe & Smart Tech

Diodes Incorporated experienced a data breach confirmed on September 23, 2022, affecting Social Security numbers, health information, and other personal data.

While the exact number of affected individuals is not specified, the nature of the data compromised is significant. The company allocated $6.7 million for regulatory compliance and security infrastructure in 2024. With an approximate annual revenue of $1 billion, this represents 0.67% of revenue. In 2023, the company achieved a 98% completion rate for worldwide employee cybersecurity training. Its website privacy policy states the use of secure servers, password encryption, and SSL. The company explicitly states compliance with GDPR and CCPA, and its Data Processing Addendum references these, along with UK Data Protection Law and Chinese Personal Data Protection Law. This addendum also requires third-party sellers to encrypt data in transit, on storage media, and on portable devices using industry-standard tools, and to process only necessary data following retention schedules. Users can update their profiles and access their data. The company has vulnerability identification and testing processes in place as part of its incident response plan.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

In 2023, 63% of plastic packaging used for outbound shipments was technically recyclable.

The company reported 12 waste reduction initiatives as implemented. Approximately 60% of hazardous waste was diverted from disposal in 2023. The company reported no waste disposal violations in 2023. Diodes Incorporated has no waste reduction targets currently in place but plans to introduce them within the next two years. Environmental requirements for suppliers exist, but are not included in contracts, and compliance is addressed on a case-by-case basis.
