Better Health for All

Churchill Capital Corp IX (CCIX.US) is a blank check company (SPAC) formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination.

It does not currently have established business operations, products, or services that directly impact health outcomes. Its primary activities are financial in nature, focusing on identifying and merging with a private company. The proposed merger for CCIX is with an autonomous trucking startup, which is not health-related. Therefore, all KPIs related to health impact, safety, accessibility, innovation, externalities, equity programs, workforce support, preventative measures, data responsibility, crisis response, mental health, patents, nutrition, education, addiction, and clinical trials are not applicable or have a neutral impact.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Churchill Capital Corp IX (CCIX.US) is a blank check company (SPAC) formed for the purpose of a business combination.

It does not have established business operations, procure or trade physical commodities, or have a supplier base requiring welfare or sourcing audits. Therefore, all KPIs related to fair trade and ethical sourcing are not applicable to the company's current operations.

Honest & Fair Business

The company has a formal whistleblower protection policy that requires prompt reporting of potential violations to the Chairman of the Board.

It also has an anti-corruption policy that states compliance with laws, including the FCPA, and mandates annual certifications of compliance by officers. However, the policy lacks specific details on training frequency or effectiveness metrics. As a blank check company (SPAC) without established business operations, there is no public financial reporting requirement for financial restatements or audit coverage, nor are there formal complaints mechanisms or ESG controversy data applicable at this stage. No evidence was found regarding regulatory fines, transparency index scores, board conflict-free percentages, or third-party verification of ethical claims.

Kind to Animals

CCIX.US is a blank check company that is merging with Plus Automation Inc., a developer of AI-based virtual driver software for autonomous trucks.

The provided articles do not contain specific, quantifiable evidence related to cruelty-free certifications, animal testing, humane operations, ethical input substitution, supplier audits, cage-free sourcing, innovation investment in animal-free technologies, animal agriculture ethics, or animal-free R&D collaboration. While Plus is partnering with Good Machine on projects addressing illicit wildlife poaching, and autonomous vehicles have the potential to reduce animal-vehicle collisions, the articles do not provide measurable biodiversity impact, species recovery metrics, or a percentage of revenue allocated to these efforts, which are required for scoring the 'wildlife_conservation_impact' KPI. Similarly, discussions about the need for policy and regulation regarding autonomous systems and their interaction with animals, and consumer pressure for animal safety, do not constitute evidence of the company's active engagement in animal welfare policy improvement or advocacy for higher standards, as required for the 'public_policy_engagement' KPI. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the provided evidence.

Planet-Friendly Business

CCIX.US is a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) formed for the purpose of a business combination, and as such, it does not have established business operations.

The provided articles do not contain any specific data or information regarding CCIX.US's own environmental performance, operational footprint, or sustainability initiatives. Information about other companies, such as Plus or Cummins, is not directly attributable to CCIX.US as no merger or direct operational link is explicitly stated in the evidence.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

No specific, concrete data points or relevant information regarding CCIX.US's respect for cultures and communities were found in the provided articles. The articles primarily discuss the company's merger activities or general ESG practices of a related entity (Churchill Asset Management) without specific applicability to CCIX.US or the ethical value being assessed.

As a blank check company (SPAC), CCIX.US typically does not have established business operations that would generate data for these KPIs.

Safe & Smart Tech

Churchill Capital Corp IX (CCIX.US) has reported no cybersecurity incidents since its Initial Public Offering.

However, as an early-stage company, it lacks significant investments in data security protection and sufficient resources to adequately protect against or remediate cyber incidents. PlusAI, the target company for the business combination, has secured four ISO certifications, including ISO 27001 for information security and ISO/SAE 21434 for road vehicle cybersecurity, and is SOC 2 Type II compliant. PlusAI uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) for data at-rest and Transport Layer Security (TLS) for data in-transit. Its SuperDrive™ AI system features human-interpretable outputs, and engineers and regulators can see model recommendations and why. Plus Docs Inc. (an affiliated entity) does not use Google Workspace API data for generalized AI/ML model training and may use aggregated, de-identified data for service improvement. Plus Docs Inc. retains data only as long as needed or to meet regulatory/contractual requirements, and users have choices regarding access, deletion, and correction of personal information, including the ability to delete Snapshots permanently.
