Ethical Profile

Mixed.

DMC Global Inc. faces scrutiny for alleged securities law violations and overstated goodwill, following law firm investigations. In October 2024, a significant downward revision of its EBITDA forecast and disclosed charges reportedly caused a notable stock price decline. Critics point to DMC Global's DynaEnergetics oil and gas segment as misaligned with public health and planet-friendly goals due to fossil fuel externalities. Despite this, the company aims to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050. DMC Global offers employee benefits and conducts pay equity studies, yet lacks public data on living wages or CEO-to-median pay ratio. Ethical sourcing risks for raw materials are also noted, with no explicit policies.

No War, No Weapons

-60

The company's DynaEnergetics and NobelClad segments produce products for the oil and gas industry, industrial processing, and transportation, with no evidence of direct arms or defense contracts.

1
NobelClad's composite metal plates are being evaluated for alternative energy applications.

However, NobelClad manufactures a majority of its own explosives, and DynaEnergetics sells perforating systems and associated hardware for the oil and gas industry, which include explosives.
3
Explosives are inherently dual-use technology, and there is no evidence of specific safeguards or contractual bars against military applications for these technologies. The company reported sales to Russia of $4,057 thousand in 2021 and $183 thousand in 2022, which constituted 1.56% and 0.028% of total net sales, respectively, before suspending future sales indefinitely due to the conflict in Ukraine.

The company states it supports responsible sourcing of materials, including conflict minerals and human rights, and its due diligence measures for conflict minerals were designed to conform with OECD guidance.

It requires suppliers to complete onboarding processes, which may include due diligence questionnaires and compliance reviews, and performs annual reporting on supply chain due diligence.
6
However, for 2022 and 2024, the company could not definitively conclude whether any of its products were "DRC conflict free."
7
The company's conflict minerals policy states it will endeavor not to use 3TG from mines in the DRC Region where products support armed conflict, and it will require suppliers to commit to corrective action to move to a conflict-free source if violations are found.

The company utilizes the CFSI reporting template for annual partner reviews but does not publish the results of these reviews.
