Better Health for All

Destination XL Group's core business of apparel retail has no significant direct positive or negative health impact. While the company made a temporary shift to produce and sell protective face masks in response to the COVID-19 pandemic starting in April 2020, this is not its principal good or service.

The company has made substantial philanthropic contributions, including raising over $20 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital since 2005, which provides free treatment for childhood cancer. DXL also donated over $250,000 to Feeding America's COVID-19 Response Fund to address food insecurity. Additionally, DXL offers a 15% discount to healthcare workers through its Heroes Discount program and provides financial wellness benefits to its employees via DailyPay. However, the provided evidence does not offer the specific quantitative data required by the rubric to score KPIs related to the percentage of vulnerable populations reached, the scale of health equity programs relative to revenue, or the direct impact of its core products on health outcomes.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

No quantitative data or specific information regarding DXLG.US's fair trade and ethical sourcing practices, including fair-trade certification share, audit frequency, forced or child labor incidents, traceability coverage, remediation speed, ethical clause coverage, materials risk index, or supplier diversity spend, was found in the provided articles.

The provided article content is completely empty. Therefore, there is no data to extract regarding DXLG.US or any of the requested metrics. The summary reflects this lack of information. A real article would contain specific data points to populate the `quantitative_data`, `regulatory_actions`, `certifications_awards`, etc. sections.

Honest & Fair Business

DXLG has a 24/7 confidential and anonymous Business Abuse Hot Line (888-662-5025) monitored by a third party, and its policy prohibits retaliation for good faith reporting.

The Audit Committee has the authority to engage independent counsel for investigations. The company has had zero financial restatements in the past five years. The board requires directors and officers to disclose any material relationship or transaction that may present a conflict of interest, and senior management needs Board approval to accept external board positions. The company represents that it maintains policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Audit Committee has the authority to engage independent counsel and other advisers for investigations, and the company receives comfort letters from independent auditors like KPMG LLP.

No War, No Weapons

The provided articles do not contain specific, quantifiable evidence to assess DXLG.US against the 'No War, No Weapons' ethical value. While articles mention general ethical sourcing practices and supplier compliance, they explicitly state a lack of data relevant to defense-related activities or peace initiatives for DXLG.US.

Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the available information.

Planet-Friendly Business

The company reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions of 12,405 tCO₂e for FY 2024, which represents a 3.2% decrease from FY 2023.

However, it does not report Scope 3 emissions. The company sources 0% of its operational energy from renewables, although its Canton facility's electricity mix includes approximately 43% carbon-free electricity. The Canton facility achieved a waste diversion rate of 94% in FY 2024. In fiscal 2024, approximately 97% of the company's private-label volume was shipped in polybags made from recycled plastics. The company is not aware of any incidents of non-compliance with water quality standards or regulations in its own operations. DXL works with Tier 1, 2, and 3 vendors to improve environmental performance and requires all Tier 1 and 2 suppliers to undergo annual third-party environmental audits.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

The company has established partnerships with national organizations such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Feeding America, GOVX, Mitratech, SHRM CEO Action for Inclusion & Diversity, and Good360.

However, there is no explicit evidence of formal partnership agreements with indigenous or local community groups. The company's business model as a specialty retailer of men's apparel does not inherently involve direct interaction with indigenous populations or specific local community groups that would necessitate such partnerships.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Products marked with a "green leaf" icon contain a minimum of 25% recycled materials.

The company has launched a "Fit Exchange" program, allowing customers to trade in old clothes for a 20% discount on new purchases, with donated clothes distributed locally across 250+ locations. No regulatory actions, violations, fines, or compliance issues related to waste disposal have been mentioned in the provided information.
