Better Health for All

PBF Energy's core business of petroleum refining and its products are linked to severe, widespread health damage, including respiratory disease, cancer, heart disease, and thousands of premature deaths annually from emissions and incidents. The company's operations have resulted in severe negative health externalities, with over $44 million in penalties for 96 environment-related offenses, including air and water pollution.

The Martinez refinery alone had 46 flaring incidents and 21 hazardous material releases since November 2022, and three Major Chemical Accident or Releases since 2022, leading to health advisories and shelter-in-place orders. The Delaware City refinery released over 4.6 million pounds of pollutants in 2023 and had sulfur dioxide emissions exceeding permitted levels for 2.5 weeks in 2025. The company has a severe safety record, including a worker fatality in 2015, two critically injured workers in 2020, and six injured workers in a February 2025 fire, alongside 47 safety-related offenses with over $1.3 million in penalties. Risk transparency is poor, as the company failed to notify the county of a November 2022 emissions release and a 72-hour report for a February 2025 fire lacked required chemical safety data sheets.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

PBF Energy Inc. is an independent petroleum refiner and supplier of transportation fuels and other petroleum products.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

For the 2024 fiscal year, PBF Energy's CEO-to-median employee pay ratio was 49:1.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

No quantitative data relevant to the specified KPIs for Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing was found in the provided articles for PBF Energy. While PBF Energy has a Supplier Code of Conduct (2023)

and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (2023) outlining commitments to ethical practices, human rights, and avoidance of child labor and conflict minerals, these documents do not provide specific percentages, frequencies, or incident counts required for scoring.

Honest & Fair Business

PBF Energy has a formal whistleblower protection policy that applies company-wide, including to its subsidiaries and affiliates, and provides a hotline for anonymous reports

. However, the policy notes that anonymous reports may be harder to investigate , and there is no evidence regarding independent investigation processes, training frequency, or program effectiveness. The company also maintains a zero-tolerance anti-corruption policy, emphasizing compliance with FCPA and other anti-corruption laws, and requiring monitoring, recordkeeping, and enforcement procedures . Despite these elements, information on the frequency of anti-corruption training or metrics to assess the policy's effectiveness is not available.

Kind to Animals

PBF Energy's subsidiary, Collins Pipeline, was responsible for a diesel spill of over 300,000 gallons in Louisiana.

This incident directly caused the death of 2,300 to 2,523 fish and 96 to over 100 other animals, including snakes, birds, and turtles. Additionally, 78 alligators were impacted, with 3 euthanized and 33 released after rehabilitation. The spill contaminated wetlands, which are critical habitats. There is no evidence of any conservation initiatives or funding by the company to mitigate such impacts or restore habitats. The company's core business as a petroleum refiner does not involve animal-derived products, animal testing, animal husbandry, or animal agriculture, making several KPIs not applicable.

No War, No Weapons

The provided articles do not contain specific, quantifiable data points or outcomes related to PBF Energy's involvement in arms contracts, dual-use technology, sales to embargoed regimes, peacebuilding investments, or any other metrics under the 'No War, No Weapons' ethical value. While some articles mention commitments to compliance with international trade laws
