Runway Growth Finance Corp. (RWAY.US) holds a mixed ethical profile. The company has set a carbon reduction target of 15% by 2025 and reports $89.3 million in Sustainable Business Financing, marking a 22% year-over-year increase. RWAY.US has also updated its code of ethics, implementing stricter rules on securities transactions and political contributions.

Consequently, its direct impact on areas like fair pay, worker respect, animal welfare, or community engagement is generally considered neutral, with insufficient evidence available to assess direct effects in these areas.

Better Health for All

0

Runway Growth Finance Corp. (RWAY.US) is a specialty finance company that provides capital solutions, primarily senior secured loans, to late-stage growth companies.

1
Its core business activities involve lending money and managing an investment portfolio. While RWAY.US invests in companies within the 'healthcare information and services' sector, such as Mingle Healthcare Solutions,
2
its own principal goods and services are financial in nature. There is no evidence that RWAY.US's direct business operations, products, or services have a significant positive or negative impact on health outcomes, nor do they involve direct health-related R&D, safety implications, accessibility considerations, or other health-specific initiatives. Therefore, all KPIs related to direct health impact, harmful revenue, safety, accessibility, transparency, innovation, externalities, equity, workforce support, preventative measures, data responsibility, crisis response, mental health, patents, nutrition, education, addiction, and clinical trials are scored as not applicable or neutral.

0

No evidence available to assess Runway Growth Finance Corp. on Fair Money & Economic Opportunity.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

0

No specific, concrete data points were found across the provided articles for any of the KPIs related to Fair Pay & Worker Respect. Information regarding living wage coverage, CEO to median pay ratio, collective bargaining share, safety incident rate, pay equity ratio, worker engagement score, turnover rate, labor violation incidents, insecure contract share, or health insurance coverage was explicitly stated as 'Not provided', 'N/A', or 'No data' in multiple sources.

1
While one article mentioned an employee count of 1,050,
2
this figure alone does not provide sufficient evidence to score any of the quantitative KPIs, nor does the CEO salary information without median employee pay data.
3

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

0

Runway Growth Finance Corp. is a specialty finance company that provides capital solutions. Its business model does not involve the procurement or trading of physical commodities, nor does it have a supply chain of physical goods that would typically be subject to fair trade certifications, sourcing audits, or risks of child/forced labor. Therefore, all KPIs under Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing are not applicable to its operations.

While one article mentions a "Carbon Reduction Target (by 2025): 15%" and "Sustainable Business Financing" of $89.3 million in 2023, these are either forward-looking targets or refer to the company's investment activities rather than its own operational environmental performance.

1
No specific, verifiable data points are provided for any of the environmental KPIs in the rubric, such as total greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy usage, water consumption, waste diversion rates, or details on climate-related policies and initiatives for the company's own operations.
