Perdoceo Education Corporation (PRDO)

Environment story

Perdoceo discloses no quantified Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions data in its 10-K filing. The company provides no net-zero target date, renewable energy percentage, or carbon-reduction initiatives. No environmental controversies, lawsuits, or resource-depletion incidents are documented in the filing. The for-profit education sector's primary environmental footprint derives from facility operations (occupancy costs represent ~3% of revenue) and student-related activities. Without disclosed emissions metrics, renewable commitments, or decarbonization investments, the company scores at the baseline environmental floor, subject to -15 for undisclosed Scope 3 (applied) and -15 for absent/post-2045 net-zero target (applied). No greenwashing penalties apply as no emissions claims are made.

Social story

Perdoceo does not disclose CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio, diversity metrics (gender/race in executive or board roles), turnover rates, plant safety, or union standing. The 10-K contains no discussion of labor relations, NLRB complaints, strikes, or collective-bargaining agreements. Supply-chain ethics statements are absent. The company operates in for-profit postsecondary education, employing faculty, academic administrators, and support staff. Bad debt expense (3.5% of revenue in 2025) reflects student receivables collection challenges, which is a proxy for student financial distress but not a direct social governance metric. Without disclosed leadership diversity, CEO-to-worker ratio, union engagement, or supply-chain audits, the company defaults to baseline social score minus penalties for undisclosed diversity (~30% assumption for educational institutions) and absence of documented union-positive or labor-protection initiatives.

Governance story

Perdoceo discloses no dual-class share structure; common stock is single class. Board independence percentage is not disclosed in the 10-K excerpt provided. The company does not disclose annual lobbying expenditures or PAC contributions. No active antitrust, consumer-safety, or financial-fraud regulatory proceedings are documented in the MD&A. The company operates within a highly regulated Title IV Program framework and faces ongoing policy uncertainty due to congressional scrutiny of the for-profit education sector. The MD&A acknowledges regulatory risk and the need to adapt to new Administration/Congress regulatory interpretations but does not detail specific lobbying activities targeting environmental or consumer-protection deregulation. Absence of disclosed board independence metrics and lobbying data results in baseline governance score minus -15 for undisclosed board independence (applied).
