ScanSource, Inc. (SCSC)
Data as of July 17, 2026
Environment story
ScanSource discloses no formal Scope 1, 2, or 3 carbon emissions metrics, net-zero targets, or decarbonization initiatives in its 10-K filing. The company operates as a technology distributor with no manufacturing footprint, suggesting lower direct operational carbon but no transparency on supply-chain or product-use emissions (Scope 3). The company does not report renewable energy adoption or climate commitments. Cyberattack recovery and IT infrastructure investments are noted but carry no stated environmental impact. Without disclosed ESG targets or carbon accounting, the company receives baseline penalties for undisclosed Scope 3 emissions (-15) and absent net-zero target (-15), partially offset by the absence of major environmental controversies or resource-extraction lawsuits in available filings.

Disclosed initiatives

IT Infrastructure & Digital OperationsMultiple distribution facilities across North America and Brazil; reliance on third-party logistics and cloud/SaaS services from suppliers such as Microsoft, Zoom, and RingCentral.
Social story
ScanSource reports no disclosed CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio, diversity metrics for executive or board leadership, or formal diversity programs in the 10-K. The company acknowledges employee retention challenges and the importance of competitive compensation but provides no quantitative DEI disclosure, pay-equity commitments, or diversity targets. No documented union-suppression activities or major strikes are reported. Supply-chain labor audits and human-rights assessments are not disclosed. The company faces ongoing recruitment and turnover pressures in competitive markets and acknowledges dependence on third-party logistics providers in Brazil and elsewhere but does not disclose labor-compliance audits or living-wage commitments. Restructuring actions in fiscal 2025 (approximately $20.5 million in annualized cost reductions via workforce reductions) signal cost-control measures but lack transparency on severance or transition support. Absence of disclosed diversity metrics, union engagement, and supply-chain labor oversight results in deductions.

Governance story
ScanSource employs a single class of common stock with equal voting rights (no dual-class structure). Board independence percentage is not disclosed in the 10-K filing; typical public-company governance disclosures (proxy statement DEF 14A) are not provided. The company does not disclose annual lobbying expenditures targeting environmental or consumer-protection deregulation. No active antitrust proceedings, major SEC consent decrees, or material consumer-safety litigation is reported in the 10-K; the company references routine litigation related to commercial disputes, intellectual property, and employment but no findings of violation. A May 2023 ransomware attack is disclosed with remediation efforts and insurance recovery ($6.7 million) recorded in fiscal 2025; no systemic cybersecurity fines are noted. The company demonstrates financial covenants compliance (Leverage Ratio ≤3.50, Interest Coverage ≥3.00) and maintains revolving credit facilities with JPMorgan Chase. Absence of disclosed board-independence percentage and lobbying spend transparency results in moderate deductions; lack of significant regulatory violations mitigates further penalties.
