Better Health for All

Kewaunee Scientific Corporation's current product portfolio, including biological safety cabinets, modern fume hoods, and healthcare furniture, is designed to protect personnel, prevent contamination, and enhance healthcare environments, delivering significant health benefits. The company's acquisition of NuAire further expands its offerings in biological safety cabinets, CO2 incubators, and ultralow freezers, advancing safety and scientific discovery.

The company ceased using asbestos in its products in the 1980s, and there is no evidence of current revenue from products with negative health outcomes. Kewaunee's current products conform to UL 60601 and NSF/ANSI 49 standards, and biosafety cabinets feature HEPA filters and inward airflow to contain contaminants, contributing to an outstanding safety record. The company provides safety data sheets and certifications for its laboratory fume hoods. Kewaunee's Kewaunee Cares program supports local initiatives, including STEM education and school renovations in India, and family services in Texas, but specific funding as a percentage of revenue or reach to vulnerable populations is not detailed. The company's products are designed to enhance workflow for healthcare professionals, and it offers initiatives supporting personal and professional growth for its Associates, including a Well Living program and leadership development. Features like infection control in procedure carts and HEPA filters in biosafety cabinets demonstrate some focus on disease prevention. Electronic locks on procedure carts have an audit trail of the last 1500 access attempts, indicating basic healthcare data responsibility. The company acknowledges a renewed focus on preparedness for global health challenges but provides no specific actions or donations during public health emergencies. There is no evidence of mental health initiatives, price accessibility, vulnerable reach, risk transparency, health innovation investment, health externalities, pharma patent flexibility, nutrition and food safety, healthcare education, addiction mitigation, or clinical trial ethics.

Honest & Fair Business

Kewaunee Scientific Corporation has a formal whistleblower policy that includes a dedicated Integrity Line (phone, online, or mail) for reporting concerns, and explicitly prohibits retaliation against whistleblowers.

However, there is no evidence provided regarding independent investigation processes for these reports. The company's code of ethics, specifically for the CEO and employees with financial reporting responsibilities, explicitly prohibits offering anything of value to foreign government officials to influence business, but lacks details on enforcement, training frequency, or coverage for international and high-risk markets.

Kind to Animals

Kewaunee Scientific Corporation manufactures laboratory and technical furniture, including animal handling equipment through its subsidiary NuAire.

The provided articles indicate that NuAire's Animal Transfer Stations are designed to provide optimal sterility and allergen protection for lab animals, ensuring research is conducted in humane, clean, and safe environments. This refers to the features of their products that support humane research by others. However, there is no evidence that Kewaunee Scientific Corporation or NuAire themselves conduct animal testing, use animal-derived ingredients in their products, engage in animal agriculture, or participate in animal welfare policy advocacy. Therefore, all KPIs related to animal testing, animal-derived inputs, humane certifications for animal operations, and animal agriculture are not applicable to the company's direct operations based on the available information.

No War, No Weapons

Kewaunee Scientific Corporation conducts an annual review of significant vendors to identify those whose materials may contain 3TGs (conflict minerals).

For the 2019 reporting period, all surveyed suppliers indicated that any 3TGs in their materials did not originate from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries. For the 2024 reporting period, one supplier identified a potential smelter in a Covered Country, which was listed as "Conformant" under the Responsible Minerals Initiative. The company shares concerns that profits from 3TG mining in conflict areas may aid human rights abuses, but the filing does not explicitly mention alignment with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP).
