Better Health for All

FormFactor's core products, probe cards and thermal subsystems for semiconductor manufacturing, do not have a direct positive or negative health impact, resulting in a neutral score for health_impact_core. The company does not generate revenue from products or activities with established negative health outcomes, leading to a neutral score for harmful_revenue_share. While FormFactor commits to minimizing environmental damage and potential harm to public health,

and reports on GHG emissions, water use, and waste, there is no specific evidence of indirect health effects (pollution, addiction, mental health impact) or their scale, nor specific mitigation efforts directly tied to public health outcomes, resulting in a neutral score for health_externalities. The company has an Anti-Harassment Policy and avenues for anonymous reporting, but these are workplace policies and do not constitute specific mental health initiatives for the public, leading to a neutral score for mental_health_initiatives. All other KPIs are omitted due to a lack of direct, relevant evidence. Workplace safety data, while present, is explicitly excluded from this value category.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

In fiscal year 2024, FormFactor's CEO to median employee pay ratio was 61:1.

For 2022, the company reported a combined Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of approximately 2.25 per 200,000 hours worked across its California and Oregon sites. The company has not incurred any fines or legal proceedings related to employee health and safety violations in the past five years. FormFactor states a commitment to ethical labor practices, human rights, and zero tolerance for forced labor or child labor, and promotes freedom of association.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

FormFactor's 2022 sustainability report states no violations or significant risks related to freedom of association, child labor, or forced labor.

However, the company does not have a formal process for supplier verification of compliance with CA Civil Code §1714.43, though it is working to adopt such a program.

Honest & Fair Business

FormFactor has a whistleblower protection policy that emphasizes confidentiality and non-retaliation, offering multiple avenues for reporting, including a third-party anonymous helpline.

However, there is no evidence provided regarding independent investigation processes, training frequency, or the policy's effectiveness.

The provided articles, including FormFactor's CSR disclosures, ESG data from Sustainalytics, and a corporate citizenship article, do not contain any specific, concrete data points or explicit policy statements relevant to the 'No War, No Weapons' ethical value.

Planet-Friendly Business

In 2022, the company's total Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions were 21,075 tCO₂e (7,534 tCO₂e for Scope 1 and 13,541 tCO₂e for Scope 2).

However, Scope 3 emissions were not disclosed. Emissions per million dollars of revenue increased from 21.68 metric tons in 2021 to 28.18 in 2022, and emissions per headcount increased from 7.3 metric tons in 2021 to 10.0 in 2022. The company does not have SBTi-aligned targets and is not participating in any tracked reduction initiatives. In 2022, 100% of energy consumed was from grid electricity and a hydrogen fuel generator; the electric utility provided 33% of the energy in the US from hydrogen fuel cells, and the remainder from an electric utility that derives approximately 40% of its electricity from renewable sources, meaning less than 50% of total energy is from renewables. Total water withdrawn in 2022 was 194,987 cubic meters, with total revenue of $740.9 million, resulting in 263.16 m³ per $1M revenue. The company's non-hazardous regulated waste diversion rate was 39% in 2024, and hazardous waste diversion rate was 33%. There were no fines or legal proceedings related to employee health and safety violations in the past 5 years.
