Better Health for All

FGI Industries' core products, such as sanitaryware and shower systems, contribute to hygiene and sanitation, providing modest health benefits.

The company has no revenue from products with direct negative health impacts. While FGI manufactures ADA compliant products, there is no evidence on the extent to which vulnerable populations obtain equitable access to its health-related products. The company's policies require suppliers and clients to report questionable practices and prohibit retaliation for good faith reporting, but there is no evidence of specific disclosures or marketing about health risks and benefits of its products. FGI is committed to providing equal opportunity and a work environment free from discrimination, bullying, and harassment, but these are general workplace policies and not specific health equity programs. The company also aims to ensure staff are treated with dignity and respect, and suppliers must provide fair wages and working conditions, but these are not initiatives to strengthen healthcare workforce capacity. FGI Industries Ltd. promises to treat user data with respect and not share it with third parties, complying with GDPR, demonstrating strong data protection. The company's business activities do not substantially affect mental health outcomes, nor does it produce food or nutritional products, or engage in health education. FGI uses 100% recyclable corrugated packaging and is a member of the Alliance for Water Efficiency, but there is no evidence of direct health externalities or their mitigation.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

FGI Industries Ltd. is consistently described in the articles as a 'kitchen and bath products supplier'.

The company's core business lies outside financial services. Therefore, all KPIs related to financial products, lending, customer financial data, and financial literacy initiatives are not applicable to FGI Industries Ltd. Based on the rubric, a score of 0 is assigned to each KPI where the company's business model does not involve the provision of financial services or products.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Zero incidents of forced or child labor were identified in FGI Canada's activities or supply chains for the 2023 financial reporting year, and no incidents were reported in Fort Garry Industries Ltd.'s Modern Slavery Act Report for the 2024 fiscal year.

The company's supplier policy prohibits the use of workers younger than 15 years old and below the local legal work age, and training for managers and staff on identifying and reporting forced and child labor is planned for 2025. FGI's Supplier Code of Conduct requires suppliers to abide by applicable employment standards and labor and human rights legislation, but no percentage of supplier contracts including enforceable ethical-sourcing clauses is provided. FGI recognizes that the most significant risk of modern slavery and human trafficking exists in their supply chain, and suppliers are required to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals (tin, tungsten, tantalum, gold, and cobalt).

Honest & Fair Business

FGI Industries Ltd. has a comprehensive whistleblower policy, redesigned to align with its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, effective November 5, 2025.

This policy provides confidential and anonymous reporting channels, including phone, email, and web access, with reports received by the Audit Committee. It explicitly prohibits retaliation for good-faith reports, ensures fair, impartial, and confidential investigations, and states that detailed records will be maintained for at least 8 years with reporter identities anonymized where possible. The company reported material weaknesses in internal controls related to segregation of duties, management review controls, and oversight of loan covenants, and changed its independent registered public accounting firm from Marcum LLP to CBIZ. FGI also has a zero-tolerance anti-corruption policy, prohibiting bribery and illegal payments to government officials, and states compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and UK Bribery Act, with annual acknowledgment requirements for its Code of Conduct.

Kind to Animals

The provided articles for FGI.US, a supplier of kitchen and bath products, do not contain any specific, concrete data points related to animal welfare, animal testing, or animal-derived ingredients. There is no information regarding cruelty-free certifications, alternative testing methods, humane certifications for operations, wildlife conservation impact, ethical input substitution, supplier audits for welfare compliance, cage-free sourcing, animal testing policies or volumes, innovation investment in animal-free technologies, animal agriculture ethics, animal-free R&D collaboration, or public policy engagement on animal welfare.

Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the evidence provided.

No War, No Weapons

FGI Industries Ltd. requires suppliers to comply with laws and regulations regarding conflict minerals, ensuring they do not perpetuate human rights abuses.

The company has 1-2% of procurement from conflict regions, with approximately 1% of its nearly 1,000 vendors based outside Canada and the U.S. FGI conducts annual human-rights reviews across all high-risk zones, with public summaries. The company publicly cites alignment with the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, but third-party audits note major gaps in its implementation of UN Guiding Principles. FGI screens all suppliers for activities that would violate its Supplier Code of Conduct, and non-compliance may result in business termination, achieving 75% compliance with ethical standards, with violations triggering supplier review.

Planet-Friendly Business

FGI's waste diversion rate was 3% in 2006, increasing to 47% in 2009, 58% in 2010, and over 70% by 2012.

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) was completed for FGI's commercial lavatory sinks, covering a cradle-to-grave lifecycle assessment for this product group. FGI has ISO 14001 certification in 17 facilities. The company has an emission reduction target of 25% by 2030, but no net-zero target year is stated. FGI uses 100% recyclable corrugated packaging, but there is no evidence of a reduction in packaging CO2 per unit.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

FGI has no reported cultural appropriation incidents.

In Cameroon, local communities are formally included in the VPA multi-stakeholder structure, and community organizations are represented on the REDD+ Steering Committee. However, information is mainly available in French, sometimes in French and English, with no information available in local languages, although community radios are used for indigenous peoples to express themselves in local languages during consultations. FGI's suppliers must have an anonymous complaint mechanism for workplace grievances and Code of Conduct violations, but there is no specific evidence of community-specific grievance mechanisms.

Safe & Smart Tech

FGI Industries Ltd. has not reported any material cybersecurity incidents as of March 26, 2024, indicating no significant breaches in the past three years.

The company conducts bi-annual security awareness training for employees and performs periodic internal exercises to assess the effectiveness of these trainings. FGI uses directory-based identity services for operation account security and employs firewall policies, email-layer, and endpoint-layer protections. The company performs periodic vulnerability threat scanning as part of its information security program. FGI states it complies with applicable laws and directives for data protection, including GDPR, and is subject to CCPA, but its privacy policy was last updated in January 2020. The company collects personally identifiable information for services like warranty registration and automatically collects various device and usage data. While it states it does not sell personal information, it may share it with third-party business service providers and affiliates. Users can opt-out of promotional emails and targeted ads, and California residents have CCPA rights, but the process for exercising these rights may take up to 45 days. The company's privacy policy indicates retention periods of 179 days to 6079 days for various cookies.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

FGI's packaging includes double-wall corrugated containerboard, expanded polystyrene (EPS), and honeycomb paperboard blocking, with all packaging materials assumed to be disposed of in landfills.

While one article states corrugated packaging is 100% recyclable, the inclusion of EPS and the landfill assumption for all packaging indicate that only a portion is sustainable. The company's suppliers are required to comply with all applicable environmental laws, including those regulating toxic materials, air emissions, wastewater discharge, waste treatment, and disposal. Suppliers are also expected to strive for continuous improvement in reducing environmental impacts and improving resource utilization. However, these are general requirements without specific quantitative targets or comprehensive programs.
