Better Health for All

PACCAR's core products (trucks) inherently have negative health impacts due to emissions, but the company is making significant efforts to mitigate these. Modern Euro 6 diesel engines emit 95% less nitrogen oxide and 97% less soot particles than 25-30 year old trucks.

The company has 8 zero-emission models in production and all truck sales and diesel engine unit sales were certified to use biofuels in 2024.

The company's global OSHA recordable rate for employees and contractors was 2.1 in 2023, and 1.9 in 2022, which is lower than the US heavy-duty truck manufacturing industry average of 4.5 in 2023 and 3.9 in 2022. There was one workplace fatality in 2023. PACCAR's DAF vehicle range features state-of-the-art driver assistance technologies, including Autonomous Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, DAF Drowsiness Detection, and systems to detect Vulnerable Road Users. PACCAR discloses risks in SEC filings and evaluates climate-related risks, but its climate policy engagement disclosure is partial and incomplete. The company has engaged negatively with climate-related regulations, opposing the Advanced Clean Trucks rule in Maryland and Colorado in 2022, and a 100% zero-emission CO2 target in the EU in 2022. PACCAR settled with CARB for $2,539,200 over emissions violations in July 2023. PACCAR provides comprehensive mental health support for its employees, including programs to reduce stress and workload, training sessions, and support from social workers, psychologists, and company doctors.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

. However, the provided articles do not contain specific, quantifiable data points required to assess the company against the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value's KPIs. There is no information regarding the share of underserved clients in its loan portfolio, specific APRs or fee structures compared to market medians, revenue derived from high-cost products, or the share of its loan book dedicated to low-income, SME, or micro-segments. Similarly, data on customer financial data accessibility, the impact of financial literacy initiatives (beyond general educational support), customer debt burden ratios, or the geographic inclusion of financial service access points in underserved areas is not available. While the company reports no regulatory actions or fines related to general compliance, there is no specific evidence of proactive fair-lending audits or certifications. No information is available on customer wealth building outcomes or the simplicity of financial products. General philanthropic contributions are noted but do not directly align with the financial services-specific metrics of the value, such as profit reinvestment in community finance.

PACCAR has a whistleblower policy with a 24/7 EthicsLine and states a non-retaliatory culture; however, the U.S. Department of Labor filed lawsuits in 2020 and 2021 alleging retaliatory termination of an employee who raised COVID-19 safety concerns, with OSHA finding the termination retaliatory.

Kind to Animals

The provided articles do not contain specific, quantifiable evidence related to PACCAR Inc's performance on animal welfare, animal testing, ethical sourcing of animal products, or measurable wildlife conservation impact. While one article mentions employee participation in a forest restoration project to improve local wildlife habitats

, it lacks specific metrics on biodiversity impact or species recovery required for scoring. Another article details a Supplier Code of Conduct , but its scope is limited to human labor practices and does not address animal welfare compliance. Therefore, no KPIs under the 'Kind to Animals' value can be scored.
