Better Health for All

Broadcom, through its subsidiary VMware, contributes to healthcare data responsibility by offering a complimentary Healthcare Security Readiness Program in partnership with Intel.

This program helps healthcare organizations assess and improve their security posture, reduce health IT risks, and safeguard sensitive patient data by providing insights into security gaps and multi-year improvement plans. Broadcom's core products are semiconductors and infrastructure software, which do not have direct health impacts or addiction potential. The company does not offer health-related products requiring price accessibility or engage in clinical trials, pharmaceutical patent flexibility, or food/nutrition production. While VMware collaborates on initiatives to improve care accessibility for underserved regions and addresses clinician burnout with technology solutions , and Broadcom provides employee mental health services , specific quantitative data on the scale or impact of these programs is not provided. The company's environmental performance and employee safety records fall outside the scope of "Better Health for All".

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Broadcom Inc. is a technology company specializing in semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions.

The 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value and its associated KPIs are designed to assess financial institutions and companies offering lending, insurance, or deposit services to consumers. The provided articles do not contain any evidence that Broadcom operates in the financial services sector or offers consumer credit products, financial literacy programs, or other financial inclusion initiatives. Therefore, no relevant data points were found to score any of the KPIs for this value.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Broadcom's CEO-to-median employee pay ratio was 8:1 for the fiscal year ending 2024.

The company's voluntary attrition rate was 4.1% in fiscal year 2025.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Broadcom's 2023 Conflict Minerals Report indicates that 222 out of 228 identified smelters and refiners (97.37%) in its supply chain were conformant under the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP).

This means 2.63% of identified smelters and refiners were not conformant. The company's supplier surveys, covering over 99.9% of its supply chain by 2023 spend, and audits of 71% of suppliers by 2023 spend in the past two years, found no instances of forced labor, child labor, slavery, or human trafficking. Adherence to Broadcom's Supplier Environmental and Social Responsibility Code of Conduct, which includes ethical terms, is required through certifications and contract terms for suppliers representing over 99.9% of its supply chain spend.

Honest & Fair Business

Broadcom maintains an Open Door Policy for Reporting Complaints, which includes multiple reporting channels such as an anonymous 24/7 hotline hosted by a third-party vendor, Navex EthicsPoint.

The policy explicitly prohibits retaliation against employees who report concerns in good faith, and the Compliance Officer tracks complaints and reports to the Audit Committee. The anticipated time to review a report is generally 5-6 business days. In terms of business conduct, Broadcom settled a lawsuit with Fidelity Investments in January 2026 regarding alleged threats to cut off access to business-critical software and insisting on a bundle purchase. In 2021, the company settled antitrust investigations by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the European Commission, committing to suspend agreements containing exclusivity arrangements for seven years. Additionally, in 2020, a former Broadcom engineer was sentenced to eight months in prison for stealing trade secrets.

Kind to Animals

Broadcom Inc. has a policy of "No Animal Exploitation," which indicates an absolute ban on animal testing and implies zero animals are used in testing

. As a semiconductor and software company, its core business does not involve animal-derived products, animal inputs, animal husbandry, or animal agriculture operations. Consequently, there is no scope for cruelty-free certifications, humane certifications, ethical input substitution, or cage-free sourcing. No evidence is provided regarding specific wildlife conservation initiatives with measurable biodiversity impact, R&D investment in animal-free technologies, or participation in animal-free R&D collaborations or public policy engagement related to animal welfare.

No War, No Weapons

No specific, concrete data points were found in the provided articles for any of the KPIs related to the "No War, No Weapons" ethical value. The articles explicitly state a lack of information regarding revenue from arms contracts, dual-use technology policies, sales to embargoed regimes, peacebuilding investments, conflict divestment policies, board oversight of defense activities, export end-user certificates, lobbying on arms control, humanitarian procurement compliance, human rights due diligence, Arms Trade Treaty compliance, AI military safeguards, UN Guiding Principles alignment, dual-use item screening, surveillance transparency, ethical red lines, exposure to controversial weapons, war-risk audits, annual conflict partner reviews, defense divestment, conflict minerals, peace tech investment, conflict zone procurement, and ethical red lines compliance. While some articles mention Broadcom's products could have dual-use applications or note the growth of AI revenue

, they explicitly state no information on ethical safeguards, screening processes, or the scope of R&D investment in such areas.

Planet-Friendly Business

Broadcom has committed to reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 38% by 2030, aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

However, the company lacks long-term targets aligned with SBTi methodologies and comprehensive Scope 3 emission-reduction targets. Broadcom also lacks a net-zero commitment by 2050. In 2022, Broadcom reported Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions of 307,009 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent, achieving a 34% reduction from its 2021 baseline. In 2023, the company invested $67 million in energy-efficient semiconductor manufacturing technologies, leading to a 22% reduction in power consumption per chip. By 2022, 78% of its top 100 suppliers complied with environmental sustainability standards.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

Broadcom's 2023 and 2022 ESG reports indicate that specific data related to Respect for Cultures & Communities is not explicitly detailed.

The reports state that no specific percentages or numbers are provided for KPIs such as revenue reinvested in local community development, indigenous or minority-owned suppliers engaged, local procurement share, FPIC participation rate, community governance inclusion, cultural preservation investment, cultural incident response, cultural impact assessment protocol, grievance mechanisms availability, average complaint resolution time, local employment ratio, charitable giving to cultural heritage organizations, community fund allocation, language inclusivity, cultural appropriation incidents, or cultural sensitivity training completion. While a subsidiary, VMware, partnered with the First Nations University of Canada, this initiative is not stated to be company-wide for Broadcom Inc. and therefore cannot be used to score the parent company.

Safe & Smart Tech

In 2024, Broadcom failed to adopt or implement any substantive policies or disclosures regarding AI governance and oversight.

Additionally, a supply chain attack on a partner in September 2024 led to the theft and leak of Broadcom employee and customer sensitive data.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Broadcom's non-hazardous waste diversion rate was 35% in 2023.

In contrast, its manufacturing facilities diverted nearly 99% of hazardous waste from landfills in 2022. The company has implemented several waste reduction initiatives, including recycling over 74 metric tons of e-waste in 2023 , diverting 381,500 pounds of waste at its Fort Collins facility, and composting or donating 80% of kitchen food waste at U.S. cafeterias. Broadcom's Global Operations team set a goal to reuse or recycle 30% of packing materials at its Malaysia warehouse. No waste disposal violations were mentioned in the provided reports for the past three years.
