Better Health for All

Advanced Flower Capital Inc. (AFCG) is a finance company whose principal service is providing debt capital to cannabis companies.

The cannabis products produced by the companies AFCG finances have well-established negative health outcomes, including lower birth weights, chronic bronchitis, increased risk of psychosis and schizophrenia, cognitive impairment, and cannabis use disorder. These effects are more prevalent with early initiation and frequent use. Long-term or heavy cannabis use, particularly high-potency products (averaging over 60% THC in concentrates and extracts), is linked to these negative health outcomes. AFCG's entire business model is to provide debt capital to this industry, meaning 100% of its revenue is derived from activities that enable the production and distribution of products with scientifically established serious health harms and addictive potential, with no evidence of AFCG financing any health-positive offerings. For KPIs related to direct product safety, pricing, vulnerable reach, risk transparency, innovation investment, externalities, mental health, addiction mitigation, and healthcare education, there is no specific evidence regarding AFCG's direct actions or products, as it is a finance company and not a direct producer or service provider in these areas. Therefore, these KPIs are considered not applicable.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

The provided article focuses on the company's financial performance, credit facility expansions, and general compliance, noting no regulatory violations, fines, or compliance issues.

However, the article does not contain any specific data points or information relevant to consumer-facing financial services or initiatives for underserved individual populations, which are the primary focus of the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value's KPIs. Therefore, for KPIs related to consumer lending, financial literacy, wealth building, or geographic inclusion for individuals, the company is scored as 'Not Applicable' or 'No direct impact' as it does not offer these types of services.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Advanced Flower Capital Inc. (AFCG) is a specialty finance company that provides debt capital to cannabis companies.

As a finance company, it does not procure or trade physical commodities, nor does it have a traditional supply chain or supplier base that would require fair trade certifications, sourcing audits, or ethical clauses. Therefore, all KPIs related to fair trade and ethical sourcing are not applicable to the company's direct operations.

Honest & Fair Business

No specific, concrete evidence was found in the provided articles for any of the KPIs related to Honest & Fair Business. While mentions the presence of a whistleblower policy and an anti-corruption policy, it does not provide sufficient detail (e.g., strength, enforcement, scope, training, effectiveness metrics, or specific features like hotlines or independent investigation processes) to map to any of the defined quantitative or qualitative score tiers in the rubric.

Therefore, all KPIs are omitted due to lack of specific evidence.

Therefore, all KPIs for the 'Kind to Animals' value are omitted due to a lack of relevant information.
