Better Health for All
0
AECOM's core business as an engineering and construction firm means many health-related KPIs are not applicable. The company does not offer health-related products or services requiring price accessibility or directly serving vulnerable populations with health needs. It does not engage in preventative health or treatment activities, nor does it collect or manage health-related data. Furthermore, it is not a pharmaceutical, food, or clinical research company, and its services do not have addiction potential. The value definition explicitly excludes workplace safety and environmental pollution control, which are the closest areas where AECOM's work might indirectly relate to health.

Kind to Animals
0
AECOM is an engineering and construction firm, and its core business operations do not involve animal testing, animal agriculture, or the use of animal-derived ingredients. Consequently, KPIs related to cruelty-free certification, alternative testing usage, humane certified operations, ethical input substitution, cage-free sourcing, animal testing policy, animal testing volume, and innovation investment in animal-free technologies are not applicable to its business model. For other potentially relevant KPIs such as wildlife conservation impact, supplier audit percentage, animal agriculture ethics, and public policy engagement on animal welfare, the provided articles do not contain the specific quantitative data points required by the rubric for scoring.

No War, No Weapons
0
No specific, concrete data points were found in the provided articles to assess the company against the defined KPIs for the 'No War, No Weapons' ethical value. While several articles mention contracts with the U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense for infrastructure and environmental services, these are presented as total contract values (e.g., $2 billion

, $1.5 billion

) rather than the percentage of annual revenue derived from these defense contracts. Similarly, peacebuilding initiatives are mentioned with total award amounts (e.g., $110 million
3
, $50 million
4
), but these represent revenue received for services, not a proportion of the company's own revenue allocated to peacebuilding. Other KPIs, such as dual-use technology, sales to embargoed regimes, and board oversight of defense, lack explicit factual evidence.
