Better Health for All

Dover Chemical Corporation, a subsidiary, ceased production of chlorinated paraffins in 2012 after violating the Toxic Substances Control Act

and paying $1.4 million in penalties, mitigating associated health risks. Dover Corporation prioritizes data security and privacy, implementing technical and organizational security measures, access controls, and limitations on personal data use. The company adheres to global privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA, monitors regulatory developments, and maintains a Global Data Privacy Policy. A cross-functional Data Privacy Council discusses legal developments and implements changes, while a "privacy by design" approach integrates privacy considerations into product development. Dover also requires its suppliers and business partners to comply with applicable data regulations and has received System and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2) certifications for some digital service offerings. Online employees participate in cyber, information security, and privacy training at least annually, and the Board reviews cybersecurity posture annually.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Dover Corporation is a diversified global manufacturer, not a financial services provider. Consequently, most KPIs related to 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity,' which are designed for financial institutions offering lending or deposit services to consumers, are not applicable to its core business. The company does not offer consumer credit products, manage customer finance data for open banking, or operate financial service access points. While Dover engages in philanthropic activities through the Dover Foundation, including awarding nearly $3.5 million in scholarships over 15 years

and providing nearly $1 million in community grants in 2024, these are not classified as 'community finance reinvestment' or 'financial literacy initiatives' as defined by the rubric for financial services. The company faced an ERISA lawsuit alleging excessive recordkeeping fees in its $1.5 billion 401(k) plan, with fees averaging $86 per person annually compared to a claimed reasonable fee of $32. This pertains to employee retirement benefits, not consumer lending or fair lending compliance.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Dover Corporation reported a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.96 in 2022, a 24% reduction from its 2019 baseline, with no fatalities.

Its operations do not intersect with animal welfare policies, and it operates in a sector without animal testing or product issues.

and a $1.4 million penalty in 2012 for unauthorized chemical production , which have indirectly impacted wildlife. The company also has sustainability initiatives, such as greenhouse gas reduction goals by 2030 and a responsible sourcing code , which indirectly benefit wildlife habitats.
