Better Health for All

Dorman Products' core business involves supplying automotive replacement parts, which are generally considered to have a neutral direct impact on health. The company's product design for emission control systems offers an indirect positive environmental effect, but the primary function of its products is not health-related.

The company has faced product safety issues, including a recall of 1,056 aftermarket air bag clock spring assemblies due to a potential non-deployment risk, and a separate recall of over 24,000 suspension ball joints for potential loss of steering control, both increasing injury risk. Regarding healthcare data responsibility, Dorman Products reported zero substantiated complaints concerning breaches of customer privacy and zero losses of customer data in 2023.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Dorman Products, Inc. is an automotive parts supplier, not a financial institution.

The company does not offer lending, deposit, or other consumer financial services. Therefore, all KPIs related to financial products, fees, lending practices, customer financial outcomes, and financial literacy initiatives are not applicable to its core business model. The rubric explicitly states a score of 0 for companies that do not offer lending or deposit services to consumers, or whose core business lies outside finance for relevant KPIs. No evidence was found to score any KPI beyond this 'not applicable' threshold.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

In 2024, Dorman Products reported a CEO to median employee pay ratio of 125:1.

None of Dorman's global employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The company's recordable occupational injury rate (TRIR) was 5.2 per 200,000 hours in 2024. For health insurance, Dorman US contributors and eligible dependents have access to medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance, covering 90-95% of the workforce. Employee engagement surveys show an overall rating of 3.3 out of 5 stars, which translates to approximately 66% (3.3/5 * 100). However, Indeed.com reviews from June 2025 show an overall rating of 3.3 out of 5 stars, which is approximately 66%. Glassdoor reviews from July 2025 show an employee rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars, or 70%. The most recent and specific overall rating is 3.3 out of 5 stars from Indeed.com (June 2025), which is 66%. The company has a very high turnover rate, with one review from 2026 stating, "Very, very high turnover rate due to working 5-6 days 10 hr day week."

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

No specific quantitative data is provided across the articles for any of the Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing KPIs.

While Dorman Products, Inc. mentions a Supplier Code of Conduct, a Human Rights Policy, and a commitment to conflict-free materials, these are policy statements or general mentions without specific percentages, frequencies, or incident numbers required by the rubric for scoring. The articles state that Dorman requires new strategic raw material and part suppliers to acknowledge their commitment to the Supplier Code of Conduct, but no percentage of overall suppliers or contracts covered by enforceable ethical clauses is given. Similarly, while conflict minerals are mentioned, no share of spend on high-risk materials is quantified.

Honest & Fair Business

Dorman Products has a formal whistleblower protection policy that allows for anonymous and confidential reporting via a hotline and web channels.

This policy covers accounting, internal controls, auditing, legal/regulatory matters, and retaliation, with the Audit Committee and General Counsel designated to handle reports. However, there is no explicit evidence of independent investigation processes beyond the mention of independent experts assisting. The company also maintains a zero-tolerance policy for corruption and bribery, adhering to the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws, and emphasizes third-party compliance. The Audit Committee Charter requires committee members to be independent according to SEC and Nasdaq rules. Additionally, independent auditors are required to report directly to the Audit Committee, which is responsible for pre-approving audit and non-audit services. The whistleblower policy mentions the use of independent accountants, counsel, or experts to assist in investigations, but the extent of independent verification of ethical claims is not specified.

Planet-Friendly Business

The company reported total Scope 1 and 2 emissions of 28,396 MTCO2e in 2024, a 7.63% decrease from 30,744 MTCO2e in 2023.

However, Scope 3 emissions are not reported. The waste diversion rate was 90% in both 2023 and 2024. In 2024, 18,156 metric tons of waste were recycled out of 20,125 metric tons generated. The company has not reported any environmental compliance violations, fines, or regulatory actions.

Safe & Smart Tech

Dorman Products reported no material cybersecurity incidents or threats for 2024, and no specific incidents of unauthorized data use were reported.

The company conducts annual employee security training, including phishing simulations. It also performs biannual maturity assessments against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. The company's privacy statement, last revised in December 2021, indicates that users can opt-out of secondary use and disclosure of voluntarily provided information and can request access to and correction of their data. However, the statement lacks specific details on data minimization practices. While the company states compliance with applicable laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Proposition 65, a job posting for an Executive Director - Security, Privacy & Compliance lists SOC2, ISO, FedRAMP, and NIST as required certifications for the role, but these are not stated as certifications held by the company itself.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Dorman Products achieved a 90% waste diversion rate in both 2023 and 2024.

The company's products currently contain 22% recycled content, with a target to reach 35% by 2026. Remanufacturing is a core business, diverting used automotive parts from the waste stream, conserving raw materials, and reducing energy consumption, indicating standard application of circular design principles. Waste reduction initiatives include a remanufacturing program and the deployment of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), which reduced travel waste by 16% and eliminated 112 miles of travel per day in a 750,000-square-foot facility. The company has waste reduction targets, aiming for a 12% reduction in industrial waste, an 18% reduction in packaging waste, and a 22% reduction in hazardous materials by 2025. Hazardous waste generated was 4 metric tons in 2024, down from 5 metric tons in 2023, and is disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. New suppliers are screened using environmental criteria.
