Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI)
Data as of July 6, 2026
Environment story
ADI's 10-K discloses no explicit Scope 3 emissions trend data or a defined net-zero target year, triggering deductions for non-disclosure under the scoring rubric. The filing discloses use of hazardous/regulated materials (including PFAS-containing process chemicals) in semiconductor manufacturing and acknowledges EHS permitting and restriction risk, but does not quantify controversies or fines. A Sustainability-Linked Senior Note ($750M, issued 2021) ties borrowing cost to a Sustainability Performance Target, but the filing does not detail physical decarbonization infrastructure investment sufficient to earn a bonus. This is descriptive research output and does not constitute investment advice.

Social story
Disclosed data is insufficient to confirm a CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio above 200:1, active union suppression, strikes, or supply-chain human-rights violations, so no deductions were applied under the rubric for these categories absent verified facts. Board gender diversity is 40% (4 of 10 nominees), though executive-leadership diversity metrics were not extracted from the provided filings. This is descriptive research output and does not constitute investment advice.

Governance story
ADI maintains a single-class share structure (no dual-class/supermajority founder voting), a declassified board, majority voting in uncontested elections, and 80% board independence (8 of 10 nominees), all consistent with the rubric's governance-quality benchmarks. The filing discloses ongoing IRS and Irish tax audits, which are routine tax administrative matters rather than fraud or antitrust proceedings, and no active antitrust, consumer-safety, or financial-fraud regulatory proceeding was identified in the provided documents. This is descriptive research output and does not constitute investment advice.
