Parker-Hannifin Corporation (PH) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

Parker-Hannifin discloses a Scope 1&2 near-total decarbonization goal by 2040 but does not disclose Scope 3 (supply-chain/product-use) emissions data or trend, which triggers a greenwashing cap given that supply-chain emissions typically represent the majority of an industrial manufacturer's footprint. The company reports Superfund potentially-responsible-party status and a fiscal 2025 facility fire (Saegertown, PA) requiring insurance-covered remediation. Water conservation and waste-prevention programs are disclosed but not quantified as physical infrastructure capital investment.

Criticisms on file
