Kind to Animals

0

HCC.US is an insurance company, and its core business model does not involve activities such as animal testing, animal-derived products, animal husbandry, or direct sourcing of animal products. Consequently, KPIs related to cruelty-free certification, alternative testing usage, humane certifications for operations, ethical input substitution, supplier audits for animal welfare, cage-free sourcing, animal testing policy and volume, innovation investment in animal-free technologies, and animal-free R&D collaboration are not applicable. While the parent company, Tokio Marine Group, engages in broader nature and biodiversity conservation initiatives, specific quantitative data required to score wildlife conservation impact based on revenue percentage is not provided. Similarly, public policy engagement focuses on general environmental and biodiversity policies, not explicitly animal welfare. In 2022, Tokio Marine America employees supported several local animal welfare charities, including CatNap from the Heart, Chicago Canine Rescue, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Operation Kindness, Pasadena Humane Society, and Pet Buddies Food Pantry.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

0

No specific, quantifiable evidence was found in the provided articles for HCC.US that directly addresses the defined Key Performance Indicators for 'Respect for Cultures & Communities'. While articles mention general charitable giving and community programs by HCC.US and its parent company, Tokio Marine Group, they do not provide data points such as the number of formal partnerships with indigenous or local community groups, percentage of revenue reinvested in local community development, cultural appropriation incidents, or specific cultural impact assessment protocols. For example, while 7 charity partnerships were identified, this number does not align with the exact quantitative thresholds provided in the rubric for 'num_formal_partnerships'.

Therefore, no KPIs could be scored based on the available evidence.
