Better Health for All
10
BorgWarner's core business, automotive parts, has an indirect impact on health primarily through vehicle emissions. The company is actively mitigating these negative health externalities, with 87% of its 2023 revenue derived from electric vehicle and emissions-reducing hybrid and combustion products.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity
0
BorgWarner Inc. is an automotive parts manufacturer and does not offer lending, insurance, or deposit services to consumers. Consequently, the provided articles do not contain specific, concrete data points relevant to the KPIs under the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value, which primarily assesses financial institutions. Information regarding employee benefits, general community investments, or product-related data (e.g., IoT for fan systems) does not directly address the quantitative thresholds for financial inclusion, pricing, fees, lending compliance, or wealth-building outcomes for financial service customers. While community investment figures of $3.1 million in 2024
1
and $3.4 million in 2023
2
are mentioned, the absence of annual pre-tax profit figures prevents the calculation of the required percentage for profit reinvestment.

Kind to Animals
0
BorgWarner Inc. is an automotive parts manufacturer, and its core business operations do not typically involve animal-derived products, animal testing, or animal agriculture. The provided articles, primarily summaries of the company's sustainability reports, focus on environmental, social, and governance aspects such as GHG emissions reduction, renewable energy usage, and waste diversion, without mentioning any direct animal welfare initiatives or metrics. Therefore, most KPIs are scored as N/A. While one facility received a Wildlife And Industry Together (W.A.I.T.) certification for considering wildlife needs in land management
1
, this recognition does not provide measurable biodiversity impact, species recovery, or habitat restoration metrics required to score the 'wildlife_conservation_impact' KPI, leading to its omission.
