LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. (RAMP) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

LiveRamp discloses minimal environmental data in its 10-K. The company makes no explicit commitment to net-zero targets, carbon reduction, or renewable energy procurement. Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are entirely undisclosed. No material resource controversies (toxic waste, water, habitat) are documented in the filing. The company operates as a data/software platform with negligible direct operational carbon footprint compared to energy-intensive manufacturing or fossil-fuel extraction. However, the absence of any climate strategy, emissions reporting, or decarbonization initiatives reflects low environmental priority. Scope 3 Marketplace and data-transfer emissions (cloud infrastructure, partner networks) are not quantified or addressed. Without baseline disclosures and targets, environmental scoring reflects structural omission rather than active harm.

Criticisms on file

No material criticisms on file for this pillar.

Disclosed initiatives

LiveRamp.org volunteer and community engagement program

Data-for-good initiative supporting nonprofit and public interest work through data capabilities.

Non-quantified social benefit; no direct environmental impact.

Social story

LiveRamp reports ~1,300 employees globally with no documented unionization (U.S.) or labor disputes. The 10-K explicitly states no work stoppages and no NLRB complaints or active union-suppression activities. CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio is undisclosed; without this data, a 15-point deduction cannot be applied. Leadership diversity metrics (gender, race, executive/board) are entirely absent from the filing. The company describes a culture focused on collaboration, respect, and belonging, with optional Business Employee Resource Groups (BERGs) and a dedicated workforce engagement role. Remote-work flexibility and high-engagement claims are stated but not independently verified. Supply-chain labor risks are not disclosed; the company is a software/data platform, not a manufacturer, reducing direct human-rights exposure. Onboarding of ~200 roles from India outsourcing partner in Q2 FY2027 signals workforce restructuring with unknown labor-practice implications.

Governance story

LiveRamp's 10-K provides no explicit board composition, independence percentage, or dual-class share structure disclosures in this filing. The company does not detail lobbying expenditures or policy advocacy directed at environmental deregulation or consumer protection. No active antitrust proceedings, SEC consent decrees, privacy fines, or financial-fraud allegations are disclosed. The pending Merger with Publicis (announced May 16, 2026, $38.50/share) introduces transaction-related governance risks: temporary restrictions on strategic actions, management distraction, fiduciary conflicts (director/executive termination and retention packages), and a $32.35M termination fee. Executive officers (Scott Howe, CEO; Jerry Jones, Chief Ethics & Legal Officer) are named; no corruption, misconduct, or governance scandals are documented. Data privacy and ethics governance is emphasized (dedicated Chief Ethics & Legal Officer, privacy teams in major geographies). However, the absence of quantified board independence, lobbying disclosures, and share-structure clarity prevents precise scoring; default assumptions are applied.
