The company's anti-bribery and corruption policy, adopted on May 14, 2025, outlines compliance with FCPA and CFPOA, prohibits payments to government officials, mandates accounting for company funds, and includes guidelines for international operations, sanctions, and trade embargoes, as well as detailing reporting procedures.

Kind to Animals

The provided articles do not contain specific, quantifiable evidence related to Hillman Solutions Corp.'s performance on any of the 'Kind to Animals' KPIs. While a 'Responsible Sourcing Policy' and 'Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy' are mentioned,

these do not provide data on animal welfare audits, animal-derived ingredient substitution, or other animal-specific metrics. The company's commitment to converting 60% of cassette tags to ocean-bound plastic and recycled cardboard is an environmental initiative, but it does not provide measurable biodiversity impact or species recovery metrics required by the 'wildlife_conservation_impact' KPI. Similarly, a mention of 'eco-friendly innovation' in market trends does not equate to the company's specific R&D investment in animal-free technologies. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the given information.
