An independent review, conducted by the audit committee with external advisors, concluded that claims made in a short-seller report were not substantiated.

No War, No Weapons

The provided articles do not contain specific, concrete data points or policies directly related to the company's involvement with arms manufacturing, military contracts, dual-use technologies, sales to sanctioned regimes, or investments in peacebuilding initiatives.

Therefore, no KPIs under the 'No War, No Weapons' value can be scored based on the available evidence.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

Both articles explicitly state data gaps or limited information across all relevant KPIs, including formal partnerships, community reinvestment, cultural appropriation incidents, impact assessments, local employment, grievance mechanisms for community concerns, cultural preservation investments, local procurement, indigenous supplier engagement, cultural site protection, social license to operate, charitable giving to cultural heritage organizations, community fund allocation, language inclusivity, cultural incident response, and cultural sensitivity training completion.

Safe & Smart Tech

GigaCloud Technology Inc. allows users to delete their account at any time by following instructions on the GigaCloud Marketplace or by sending a 30-day prior written notice via email.

Users can also access and correct personal information on their profile and request removal of their information. For authentication, users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account login information and password, and a verification code is required to send messages via the secure Ethics and Compliance Hotline web form. However, there is no information on the availability of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for general services. The company agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and requires its users, subcontractors, agents, and suppliers to do the same. Despite this, GigaCloud faced a securities fraud lawsuit from investors who purchased shares between August 18, 2022, and September 27, 2023, which was settled for $2.75 million.
