Better Health for All

ONEOK's core business involves providing midstream services for natural gas and natural gas liquids. These products, as fossil fuels, have significant negative health consequences through their combustion, leading to a negative net health effect from the company's principal services and 100% of its revenue being derived from activities with established negative health outcomes. The company's operations also generate health-harming externalities, primarily greenhouse gas emissions. However, ONEOK has undertaken substantial remediation efforts, achieving a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2023.

This contributes to improved community air quality and public health. For several other health-related KPIs, such as price accessibility, vulnerable reach, pharma patent flexibility, nutrition and food safety, addiction mitigation, and clinical trial ethics, the company's business model does not directly involve these areas, resulting in a neutral impact. No specific evidence was found for other KPIs like safety record, risk transparency, health innovation investment, health equity programs, healthcare workforce support, preventative health measures, healthcare data responsibility, global health crisis response, mental health initiatives, or healthcare education.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

ONEOK Inc. operates as a midstream service provider for natural gas and natural gas liquids, not a financial institution. As such, the company does not offer lending, deposit, or other financial products or services to consumers. This means all Key Performance Indicators related to financial services, such as customer credit, savings, lending practices, fee structures, and financial literacy programs, are not applicable to ONEOK Inc.'s core business operations. While ONEOK Inc. made charitable contributions of $9.6 million in 2023

and approximately $9 million in 2022, with a portion of the 2023 funds ($3.36 million) supporting diversity and inclusion programs, these donations are not considered "community finance reinvestment" or "financial inclusion initiatives" as defined by the specific scope of this value and its associated KPIs, which focus on financial products and services.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

In 2024, ONEOK's Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) was 0.31.

The CEO pay ratio for the 2024 fiscal year was 84:1. Additionally, 298 of Kansas Gas Service's 976 employees, a division of ONEOK, are covered by a four-year labor agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union No. 304 (IBEW), effective July 1, 2010.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

ONEOK Inc. has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and a Business Partner Code of Conduct that address ethical business practices, including human rights and diversity.

However, specific data on fair trade certifications, supply chain transparency, or audits related to ethical sourcing are not publicly available, making it challenging to assess performance against fair trade criteria.

Honest & Fair Business

The company incurred approximately $1.73 million in regulatory fines over the past three years for various violations, including pipeline safety, air pollution, and water pollution.

A whistleblower policy is in place, prohibiting retaliation against employees for raising concerns and offering an independent, anonymous hotline. All employees and directors receive annual training on the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which includes or relates to the whistleblower policy. Additionally, a comprehensive anti-corruption policy exists, covering U.S. and foreign laws such as the FCPA and UK Bribery Act, with certain employees receiving additional anti-corruption training.

No War, No Weapons

ONEOK Inc. operates as a midstream natural gas service provider, a civilian energy infrastructure business.

There is no evidence of the company's involvement in arms manufacturing. A single historical contract for gas services with the Department of Veterans Affairs was noted in 2000, valued at $171,000, but no subsequent military contracts have been identified. This indicates the company has no exposure to controversial weapons.

Planet-Friendly Business

ONEOK's combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions are estimated at 6.23 million metric tons as of year-end 2023.

The company has a target to achieve an absolute 30% reduction, or 2.2 million metric tons, of its combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030 from a 2019 baseline. As of year-end 2023, ONEOK achieved reductions of approximately 1.1 million metric tons, representing 50% of its 2030 target. Scope 1 methane emissions were reduced by 36% from a 2019 baseline. The company's GHG reduction targets are not stated as SBTi-validated science-based targets. Initiatives include electrification of natural gas compression assets, methane emission mitigation, system optimizations, and exploring renewable energy, low-carbon fuels, hydrogen, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage projects. The company received an MSCI ESG Rating of AAA in 2024.
