Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. (LTH) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

Life Time discloses minimal direct environmental metrics. The 10-K acknowledges climate-related physical risks (water scarcity, extreme weather, center closures) and transition risks (carbon pricing, building performance requirements) but provides no quantified Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, renewable energy percentage, or net-zero commitments. The company frames environmental risks primarily as operational/financial threats rather than committing to decarbonization. No verified infrastructure investments in renewable energy or emissions reductions are documented. Water usage in 'scarce or costly' environments is flagged as a risk but not audited. Environmental score is significantly penalized for undisclosed emissions across all scopes and absence of a credible net-zero target.

Criticisms on file

No disclosed environmental management system, emissions inventory, or sustainability report; no third-party ESG ratings or certifications mentioned.

Water Usage Awareness

10-K notes potential cost increases to 'cool our facilities in environments that experience higher temperatures' and 'water usage in environments where water may be scarce or costly.'

Risk identification without quantified consumption or conservation commitments.

Social story

Life Time employs over 44,000 team members and reports strong workforce engagement through membership growth and club visits, but discloses no formal diversity metrics, CEO-to-worker pay ratio, or turnover rates in the 10-K. The company acknowledges labor market pressure requiring 'higher wages and increased benefits' and notes potential unionization risks; no documented labor disputes or NLRB complaints are mentioned in the filing. No supply-chain audits, human-rights policies, or diversity programs are disclosed. The company emphasizes premium member experiences and retention but provides minimal transparency on employee welfare, pay equity, or supply-chain ethics. Absence of formal commitments to diversity, living wage, or modern slavery statement reduces score.

Governance story

Life Time ceased being a 'controlled company' under NYSE rules effective June 5, 2025, as the Voting Group (LGP and TPG affiliates) reduced holdings to 38.3% of voting power (down from 62.7% in Dec 2024). Within one year (by June 2025), the company must establish independent nominating/governance and compensation committees per NYSE standards; compliance status as of 10-K filing (Dec 31, 2025) is not fully disclosed. The 10-K does not explicitly state board independence percentage or composition. Share structure includes a classified board, blank-check preferred stock authorization, and advance notice bylaws—all anti-takeover provisions. No lobbying expenditures or political contributions disclosed. No active SEC consent decrees, antitrust proceedings, or major fines are disclosed; legal proceedings section is referenced but not detailed in excerpts provided. Governance score reflects moderate independence transition, lack of transparency on board composition, and standard anti-takeover defenses.

Criticisms on file

Board independence percentage not disclosed; controlled-company status only recently terminated (June 2025); full NYSE independence compliance required by June 2026.
