Better Health for All

The company's business activities are primarily in professional communication systems and personal protective equipment (PPE), not health-related products or services.

Consequently, many KPIs are scored as 0 because they are not applicable to the company's operations, such as those related to harmful products, health data, pharmaceutical patents, food products, addiction potential, clinical trials, price accessibility, vulnerable populations, health externalities, equity programs, workforce support, crisis response, mental health, and health education. For health_impact_core and preventative_health_measures, while products like noise protection helmets, earmuffs, and PPE offer preventative health benefits, the articles do not provide specific data on the percentage of the product portfolio or health-related expenditure to quantify this impact against the rubric's tiers, leading to their omission. Similarly, for safety_record, although the company holds ATEX and PSA safety certifications and has in-house testing facilities, no data on the frequency or severity of user harm, recalls, or adverse events is provided, resulting in its omission.
