Fair Money & Economic Opportunity
0
Endeavour Mining PLC is a gold mining company, and its core business activities do not involve providing financial services to consumers. Consequently, most KPIs under the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value are not applicable. The company does not offer lending or deposit services, consumer credit products, or financial education programs. It does not generate or manage customer finance data, nor does it operate financial service access points. Therefore, KPIs such as underserved client share, pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, data accessibility, fair lending compliance, wealth building outcome, financial literacy initiatives, debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion, and product simplicity are scored as not applicable (0). The KPI for profit reinvestment is omitted due to a lack of specific data points required by the rubric, such as a percentage of annual pre-tax profit reinvested in community finance or profit-sharing.
