Environment story

ePlus discloses no material Scope 1, 2, or 3 greenhouse-gas emissions data, sustainability targets, renewable-energy procurement percentages, or net-zero commitments in its 10-K filing. The company operates data centers for customers and manages configuration centers and warehouses consuming energy, but provides no quantitative environmental performance metrics, decarbonization initiatives, or climate-related governance. This absence of disclosure—combined with the company's reliance on energy-intensive IT infrastructure and logistics—triggers the full 15-point penalty for undisclosed Scope 3 emissions and the full 15-point penalty for an absent or post-2045 net-zero target. No verified physical decarbonization investments or resource-use controversies are documented. The company's 10-K does reference AI-driven computing-component demand and product constraints, implying elevated energy demand, but does not quantify or commit to mitigation. Greenwashing checklist: no evidence of offset-based claims or greenwashing; however, the company's complete silence on climate strategy and supply-chain carbon footprint (particularly given data-center operations) results in a capped score reflecting material information asymmetry.

Social story

ePlus discloses no CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio, workforce diversity percentages, turnover rates, union standing, or labor-relations history in its 10-K. The company acknowledges competitive labor-market pressures, wage inflation, difficulty hiring technical talent, and the need for succession planning (particularly CEO succession). The 10-K notes risks related to employee non-compete and non-solicitation agreements but does not report active union-suppression activities, strikes, or major labor disputes within the last 24 months. No documented human-rights controversies, supply-chain audits, or supply-chain labor-ethics concerns (such as cobalt or lithium mining) are disclosed. The company mentions staffing services as a business line but does not disclose diversity metrics, leadership composition, or supply-chain labor audits. No deductions applied for documented union suppression or major strikes; however, the absence of diversity, pay-equity, and supply-chain-ethics disclosures limits confidence in social performance. No supply-chain human-rights hazards are substantiated from the filing.

Governance story

ePlus discloses no information regarding board independence, board composition, share structure, or annual lobbying expenditures in its 10-K filing. No dual-class voting structure is disclosed, suggesting single-class equity (no deduction applied). The company references Board oversight of strategy, operations, and succession planning, and mentions Board engagement on risk-mitigation, but does not quantify board independence as a percentage or disclose whether the board exceeds the 75% independence threshold. No active lobbying targeting environmental deregulation or consumer-protection rollbacks is documented. The company faces no disclosed significant antitrust, consumer-safety, or financial-fraud regulatory proceedings; however, it does report public-sector contract compliance risks and mentions potential litigation relating to intellectual-property infringement, contract disputes, and cybersecurity incidents. No evidence of shareholder climate-proposal litigation or shareholder-suppression activities is disclosed. The absence of board-independence disclosure prevents affirmative scoring; a conservative 15-point deduction reflects the information gap and inability to verify governance best practices.
