Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. (OLLI) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

Ollie's discloses minimal environmental data. No Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions reporting, net-zero targets, or decarbonization infrastructure investments are documented. The company acknowledges climate-related operational risks (extreme weather, property insurance cost increases) but does not quantify or commit to measurable emissions reductions. Environmental governance appears reactive rather than proactive. Starting score of 100 reduced by 15 for undisclosed Scope 3 emissions, 15 for absent net-zero target (after 2045 or none), with no offsetting infrastructure or verified mitigation initiatives identified.

Environmentally Sound Operations

Company states it conducts business in an environmentally sound manner based on customer needs and local requirements; no specific metrics or programs disclosed.

Social story

Ollie's workforce of 13,000+ associates is non-unionized with no documented labor disputes or strikes within the past 24 months. The company emphasizes internal promotion (60%+ of field positions, 65%+ of district team leaders), training via the Ollie's Leadership Institute, and competitive compensation with benefits (401k match, health insurance cost-sharing, paid time off). However, diversity metrics (gender/race composition in leadership and workforce) are not disclosed. CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio is not disclosed. The company acknowledges labor shortage risks and historical turnover in retail-typical hourly positions but provides no quantified diversity data or formal supplier-chain human-rights audits. Internal promotion culture and benefits offerings are positive; absence of diversity disclosure and union-suppression data are neutral to slightly negative.

Governance story

Ollie's demonstrates standard public-company governance compliance. Share structure is not described as dual-class; no supermajority founder voting rights are disclosed. Board independence percentage is not disclosed (assumed below 80% ceiling, but no explicit non-compliance evidence). The company acknowledges lobbying exposure via risk-factor disclosure of tariff/trade policy uncertainty and regulatory compliance costs; no quantified annual lobbying spend or anti-environmental-deregulation bias is documented. No active antitrust, consumer-safety, or financial-fraud regulatory proceedings are mentioned in the 10-K. No shareholder activism or failed proxy votes are disclosed.
