Fair Money & Economic Opportunity
0
MillerKnoll, Inc. is a furniture manufacturer, not a financial institution. Most KPIs under 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' are designed for financial services companies and refer to lending, insurance, or deposit products, which MillerKnoll does not offer to consumers. Therefore, KPIs such as underserved client share, pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, data accessibility (for financial data), fair lending compliance, debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion (for financial access points), and product simplicity (for financial products) are not applicable. While MillerKnoll engages in extensive supplier diversity, DEIB initiatives, and employee benefits, these do not align with the specific definitions and quantitative thresholds of the rubric's KPIs.

For example, 'inclusion_initiatives' specifically measures the 'share of loan/insurance book aimed at low-income, SME, or micro-segments,' which is not relevant to MillerKnoll's business. Similarly, 'wealth_building_outcome' refers to direct impact on customer credit scores or savings from financial products, and 'financial_literacy_initiatives' refers to programs for financial services customers. 'Profit_reinvestment' refers to reinvestment in community finance or profit-sharing with underserved communities, which is distinct from general philanthropic commitments or capital spending.
