Better Health for All

DLH Holdings Corp.'s core business is entirely devoted to improving public health and healthcare, providing technology-enabled solutions and program management services to government agencies like NIH, SAMHSA, and the Veterans Health Administration.

Their services encompass research and development, data analytics, health IT, and program evaluation, addressing critical health challenges such as HIV, mental health, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and the health impacts of extreme weather events. There is no evidence of any products or services with negative health outcomes. The company's services do not have direct safety implications for physical or mental health, making the safety record KPI not applicable. DLH conducts research focused on disparities in health outcomes for vulnerable populations, including people with HIV, racial and ethnic minorities, women, and those impacted by extreme weather hazards. However, there is no specific quantitative data on the company's direct reach to vulnerable populations, investment in health innovation, or the scale of its health equity programs. Similarly, while DLH provides cyber security services and handles public health data, there is no specific information on its data protection standards or a track record of breaches. The company's involvement in research on mental health and clinical trials is noted, but there is no specific data on the quality or scale of its mental health initiatives or the ethical conduct of its trials.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Employee engagement scores vary, with one platform showing an overall rating of 2.4 out of 5 stars (48%), and management and culture rated even lower.

These reviews describe a "hostile work environment," being "run like a sweatshop," and that "management does not care about employees." Other platforms report higher overall employee ratings, including 3.6 out of 5 stars (72%) and 78% positive reviews, with 79% CEO approval and 67% recommending the company to a friend. Employee reviews also qualitatively indicate "extremely high employee turnover." The company's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct commits to treating employees with dignity and respect, providing a safe workplace, and prohibiting discrimination. A Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) whistleblower complaint filed in 2017 alleging unlawful termination was dismissed by regulatory bodies in 2019, with the dismissal affirmed in 2024, finding no protected activity or unlawful termination. No other substantiated labor law or human rights violations are reported. The company adheres to Service Contract Act wage determinations, with reported hourly wages ranging from $17.76 to $21.20 and salaries from $130,000 to $135,000. The CEO's total compensation was $2,116,876 for fiscal year 2023 and $2,165,999 for 2024, but median employee compensation is not disclosed. Concerns about benefits, including health insurance, are also raised in employee feedback.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

DLH Holdings Corp. operates as a health services company providing technology-enabled solutions and program management, indicating it does not procure or trade physical commodities. Consequently, there is no evidence of fair-trade certified spend, supplier audit frequency, forced or child labor incidents, supply chain traceability, or material sourcing of at-risk inputs.

No remediation processes related to supply chain ethical violations were required or reported. General statements about ethical conduct and valuing diversity were present, but lacked specific, quantitative data regarding ethical clauses in supplier contracts or procurement budget allocated to diverse suppliers.

No War, No Weapons

DLH Holdings Corp. derived 54.1% of its total revenue in 2023 from Department of Defense (DoD) contracts, amounting to $98.6 million.

The company also secured a $76 million contract in late 2024 to provide support for Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic's Tactical Networks, which includes Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems.

Planet-Friendly Business

Sustainability data for DLHC.US is currently unavailable across all provided sources.

No quantitative data related to any specified sustainability metrics, regulatory actions, violations, fines, certifications, awards, or industry benchmarks could be found. While the company expresses a commitment to corporate social responsibility, no specific numerical data or outcomes are provided to assess performance against the Planet-Friendly Business KPIs.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

The provided articles do not contain specific, quantifiable evidence for any of the KPIs related to 'Respect for Cultures & Communities'. While one article mentions an 'Equality, diversity and inclusion' rating of 3.9 out of 5 stars based on employee reviews,

this is an internal employee sentiment metric and does not directly map to any of the defined KPIs, such as 'cultural training completion' which requires a percentage of employees completing specific training. General statements about a 'Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ecosystem' and 'civic engagement' are present, but lack the concrete data required for scoring against the rubric's quantitative thresholds. An article discussing supplier diversity for 'DHL Group' was deemed irrelevant as it does not pertain to 'DLH Holdings Corp. (DLHC.US)'.
