Better Health for All

DouYu's live streaming platform actively hosted and encouraged illegal pornography and gambling content, which was reported to cause harm to children.

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) highlighted DouYu multiple times for content violations in 2022 and Q1 2023, deploying a working group for a one-month rectification in May 2023 due to "severe ecological issues, including pornography and vulgarity." The Chinese government also expressed concerns about video game and computer addiction related to such platforms. Livestreaming, which included these harmful activities, constituted 95.6% of total revenues in 2022, 86.8% in 2023, and 72.0% in 2024. DouYu incentivized streamers to organize illegal gambling by offering a 50% revenue share, higher than the 30-45% for legal performances. The company has a catastrophic safety record, receiving multiple fines for promoting obscenity, gambling, and vulgar content in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Its CEO was arrested in October 2023 for operating a gambling establishment. A streamer group on the platform organized 4,267 lotteries with 4.42 million participants involving nearly RMB 120 million in gambling funds between March 2017 and September 2020, leading to prison sentences for team members. DouYu failed to disclose its misconduct, including gambling and pornography, and the associated material risks to investors, only announcing its CEO's arrest in November 2023. The company's operations generate severe negative health externalities, including addiction and mental health impacts, with no mentioned remediation efforts. DouYu's business model actively facilitated and incentivized gambling, a highly addictive activity, and contributed to video game and computer addiction, without any mentioned efforts to reduce addiction potential or support recovery. The company does not offer health-related products or services, nor does it engage in health equity programs, healthcare workforce support, preventative health measures, healthcare data responsibility, global health crisis response, healthcare education, or clinical trials.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

DouYu International Holdings Limited operates a live streaming platform, with over 90% of its revenue derived from commissions on virtual gifts.

The company's core business does not involve offering lending, deposit, or other traditional financial services to consumers. Therefore, the KPIs related to financial products, services, or customer financial outcomes, such as underserved client share, pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, inclusion initiatives, data accessibility, fair lending compliance, wealth building outcome, profit reinvestment, financial literacy initiatives, debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion, and product simplicity, are not applicable to this company's operations. There is no evidence in the provided articles to assess these financial-specific KPIs.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

DouYu International Holdings Limited operates a live streaming platform, primarily generating revenue through virtual gifting and advertising. The company's business model does not involve the procurement or trade of physical commodities, nor does it have a traditional supply chain that would necessitate fair-trade certifications, audits for welfare or sourcing, or exposure to upstream labor practices related to physical goods.

Therefore, no KPIs under Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing are applicable or have relevant evidence in the provided articles for this company.

Honest & Fair Business

The company, DouYu, was included in a list of platforms by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) for "harmful information such a spreading pornographic drainage, vulgarity, [and] violent abuse" in February 2023.

In May 2023, the CAC instructed the Hubei Provincial Internet Information Office to send a working group for a one-month centralized rectification supervision of the DouYu platform due to alleged violations of content rules and regulations. This led to a 9.3% drop in DouYu's stock price on May 9, 2023. Earlier, in March 2022, new regulations drafted by Chinese authorities for the live-streaming industry also caused DouYu's stock price to fall by 6.4%. However, no specific, quantifiable evidence was found in the provided articles to score DOYU.US against the defined KPIs for Honest & Fair Business.

Kind to Animals

DouYu International Holdings Limited operates a live streaming platform.

The company's core activities do not involve physical products, animal testing, animal-derived ingredients, animal husbandry, or direct impact on wildlife habitats. Therefore, all KPIs related to animal welfare, such as cruelty-free certification, animal testing, humane operations, ethical sourcing, and animal agriculture, are not applicable to its business model. While one article mentioned a wildlife conservation campaign, it explicitly attributed this initiative to HUYA Inc., and noted the termination of its merger agreement with DouYu International Holdings Limited, thus making it irrelevant to DouYu's performance.
