SharkNinja, Inc. (SN) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

SharkNinja discloses a sustainability commitment framework (Product Positive, Planet Positive, People Positive) but provides limited quantitative emissions data. Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions figures are not disclosed in the 10-K. The company references carbon offsetting via Verified Carbon Standard projects and product remanufacturing/refurbishment programs, but lacks specificity on baseline emissions, reduction targets, or net-zero commitment year. No disclosed science-based emissions reduction targets or 2045-or-earlier net-zero commitment identified. Supply chain manufacturing reliance on Asia (primarily China) with limited transparency on Scope 3 product-use emissions creates material uncertainty. The company acknowledges sustainability focus may increase litigation risks, suggesting awareness of environmental exposure. Absence of Scope 3 disclosure and net-zero target date trigger material scoring deductions under the deterministic rubric.

Social story

SharkNinja reports ~4,143 employees across 13 countries and 31 offices as of December 31, 2025, and was named a '100 Best Large Companies to Work For' in 2025 by Built In. The company emphasizes five cultural success drivers and positions itself as employee-centric. However, the 10-K lacks disclosure of CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio, diversity metrics (executive/board/workforce by gender and race), and union standing. No documented union-suppression activities or strikes in the past 24 months are disclosed, suggesting neutral labor relations. Supply-chain labor practices are addressed via supplier quality standards and audits, but specific human-rights due diligence or conflict-minerals disclosure is absent. Turnover rate and detailed safety metrics are not quantified. DEI programs and formal supplier-diversity initiatives are not explicitly described. The absence of disclosed pay equity data and diversity percentages prevents full assessment but does not surface active labor violations.
