Better Health for All

Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. is a digital engineering services company that provides data analytics, cloud computing, and software development. While the company serves the Healthcare and Pharma vertical, which accounted for 2.4% of its revenue in Q1 2025 and 3.8% in Q2 2024, its core services are enabling technologies rather than direct health products or services.

The provided articles do not contain evidence that the company's principal goods or services have a direct positive or negative health impact, nor do they indicate any revenue from products with negative health outcomes. There is no information regarding user harm, product safety, pricing accessibility for health products, or specific reach to vulnerable populations for health needs. The company's operations do not inherently involve health risks requiring disclosure, nor do they focus on health-related R&D, health equity programs, or preventative health measures. No evidence is provided regarding healthcare workforce support, health data responsibility, global health crisis response, or mental health initiatives. The company is not a pharmaceutical or food company, nor does it conduct clinical trials or health education activities, meaning several KPIs are not applicable to its business model.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

As a digital engineering services company, GDYN.US does not procure or trade physical commodities, making fair-trade certification N/A. Similarly, its core business implies no material sourcing of at-risk inputs, rendering the materials risk index N/A. While the company requires its suppliers to trace potential sources of conflict minerals and submits a Conflict Minerals Specialized Disclosure Report, no specific share of spend on these materials is provided.

The articles do not provide sufficient evidence for other KPIs, such as the percentage of supplier contracts with ethical clauses, the number of forced or child labor incidents, or the percentage of procurement budget directed to diverse suppliers (only a dollar amount is given without the total budget).

Kind to Animals

Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. is a digital engineering services company. The company is explicitly listed as having 'No Animal Exploitation' in multiple articles.

Given its service-oriented business model, all KPIs related to animal products, animal testing, animal agriculture, and associated supply chain or R&D activities are not applicable to its operations.

Planet-Friendly Business

Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions of 156,446 tCO₂e in FY24.

Given its nature as a digital engineering services company, its direct emissions are very low, and the overall footprint is considered not material in the context of the rubric's thresholds for industrial emissions. The company has not specified any SBTi-validated, science-based carbon reduction targets. It achieved 100% renewable electricity for its workplaces in FY24, with 11% from green power purchases and 89% from EACs. As of year-end 2024, five of its office buildings are certified to a LEED or Energy Star green building standard. The company provides free recycling for 100% of its hardware and offers carbon-neutral shipping labels for device recycling. It is working to identify vendors in its supply chain that have climate goals and report their energy use and emissions, and considers ESG- and climate-related criteria in new vendor selection, but specific disclosure percentages are not provided. No environmental compliance violations were mentioned. The company conducted a climate risk assessment and scenario analysis in 2023. It achieved net-zero Scope 2 emissions from electricity consumption starting in 2022. The company states it is aligned with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. Its Packaging Preferences feature enabled customers to opt out of over 3.9 million single-use packaging items for takeout orders in 2024.

Safe & Smart Tech

Grid Dynamics has a comprehensive AI ethics program, establishing a Responsible AI council, defining mandatory review gates, and maintaining a catalog of AI policies and standards.

They implement data encryption in motion and at rest. The company conducts mandatory review workflows including bias audits, security scans, and compliance checks, and maintains audit trails. They aim for transparency and explainability in AI systems through semantic tracing, capturing prompts, LLM responses, tool invocations, and reasoning steps.

Users in the EEA or UK have rights to access, update, restrict, object to, anonymize, or delete their personal information, and exercise data portability. Critical vulnerabilities are patched within 21-30 days on average. Grid Dynamics has a Responsible Disclosure Policy with an initial response to vulnerability reports within 5 working days and triage within 10 working days, but does not offer monetary rewards.

They practice data minimization by deleting personal information when no longer necessary, unless legally required to retain it. The company states compliance with data regulations like GDPR and CCPA, and helps clients meet PII regulations. They have clear break-glass and rollback procedures for problematic models and account for cascading failures in multi-agent systems.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

The provided articles do not contain specific, concrete data points for any of the KPIs under the 'Zero Waste & Sustainable Products' ethical value.

Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. is a digital engineering services company, and many of the KPIs are designed for companies producing physical products, making them less directly applicable. The articles explicitly state a lack of quantitative data regarding waste diversion, product recyclability, packaging sustainability, recycled content, single-use plastic reduction, take-back programs, circular design, waste reduction initiatives, hazardous waste management, product durability, repairability, waste audit frequency, zero waste certifications, waste disposal violations, material efficiency, packaging-to-product ratio, waste reduction targets, supplier waste requirements, or customer waste education.
