Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

0

Delek is an energy company focused on oil and gas exploration, refining, and distribution, not a financial institution. As such, it does not offer lending, deposit, or other financial services to consumers. Consequently, all KPIs related to consumer financial products, services, and their associated metrics (such as underserved client share, pricing fairness, exploitative fees, financial inclusion, data accessibility for financial products, fair lending compliance, wealth building outcomes, financial literacy initiatives, debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion for financial services, and product simplicity for financial products) are not applicable to its core business and therefore score 0. While Delek operates the Delek Fund for Hope, which has awarded over $23 million in grants to nonprofits since 2008

, including $1.35 million in 2024
