DoorDash, Inc. (DASH) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

DoorDash's SEC filings do not disclose quantified Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions figures, renewable electricity percentage, or a net-zero target year, resulting in deductions for undisclosed Scope 3 accounting and absent decarbonization timeline commitments. No resource-related controversies (e.g., toxic waste, excessive water use) were identified in the reviewed filings. The score reflects an absence of verifiable climate disclosure rather than confirmed poor operational performance. This is a factual research summary, not investment guidance.

Social story

Board-level gender representation is approximately 27% (3 of 11 directors), below the 30% leadership diversity threshold, triggering a deduction. CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio is not disclosed in the reviewed filings. Historical government claims regarding a former Dasher pay/tip-transparency model and ongoing risk of Dasher reclassification as employees represent unresolved labor exposures, though no confirmed union-suppression activity or strikes within the past 24 months were found in the reviewed materials. Supply-chain human-rights hazards (e.g., mineral sourcing) are not applicable given DoorDash's logistics/marketplace business model. This is a factual research summary, not investment guidance.

Criticisms on file

Government authorities have brought claims related to a former Dasher pay model concerning tip allocation and transparency; similar claims may recur.

Dasher Background Checks

DoorDash requires background checks for Dashers where permitted by applicable law as part of platform safety measures.

Governance story

Governance is materially constrained by a multi-class common stock structure and a Voting Agreement/irrevocable proxy among Co-Founders that concentrates voting control with CEO and Chair Tony Xu, triggering the maximum dual-class deduction. Board independence is approximately 73% (8 of 11 directors), below the 75% threshold, resulting in an additional deduction. A government claim tied to a former Dasher pay model and an October 2025 cybersecurity/social-engineering incident involving unauthorized access to limited user contact information represent active compliance and regulatory exposures. No lobbying expenditure data was disclosed in the reviewed filings. This is a factual research summary, not investment guidance.
