Amentum Holdings, Inc. (AMTM) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

Amentum lacks material environmental disclosures in the 10-K filing. No explicit Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, renewable energy percentages, or net-zero targets are disclosed. The company operates in nuclear services, environmental remediation, and energy sectors, exposing it to inherent environmental risks. Risk factors acknowledge climate change and regulatory exposure but provide no quantified mitigation strategy. The absence of GHG reporting and net-zero commitment triggers significant scoring deductions. Nuclear service indemnification under the Price-Anderson Act and international nuclear liability frameworks are acknowledged but do not constitute direct decarbonization infrastructure. Environmental remediation work (GES segment) represents a positive exposure to cleanup services but is not a decarbonization initiative.

Criticisms on file

Nuclear services dependency; socio-political opposition to nuclear-related activities acknowledged as business risk.
Source: AMTM 10-K Risk Factor: 'If we do not have adequate indemnification for our nuclear services, or business is slowed by the extensive regulatory processes for approval and licensing for new and existing nuclear technologies or socio-political opposition to nuclear-related technology and activities, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.'
Workplaces with inherent environmental and safety risks; operations in high-risk geographies (Iraq, etc.) with potential for hazardous material releases and environmental damage.
Source: AMTM 10-K Risk Factor: 'Many of our work sites are workplaces with inherent safety and environmental risks...releases of hazardous materials or nuclear wastes, or fires, explosions or other incidents, may result in environmental damages.'

Social story

The 10-K acknowledges ~50,000 global employees and notes exposure to labor/employment claims including harassment, discrimination, pay equity, wage/hour violations, and protected activity allegations. No explicit CEO-to-worker pay ratio, turnover rate, or detailed diversity percentages (by gender, race, ethnicity) are disclosed in the filing. Union standing is not documented. The company references safety as a contract requirement and acknowledges that accident/safety incidents can result in financial losses and reputational harm. Supply-chain ethics exposure is noted (international operations in high-risk geographies) but no detailed human-rights audits or conflict-minerals policies are provided.
