Better Health for All

0

Five9's core business of providing cloud software for contact centers has no significant direct positive or negative health impact, resulting in a neutral health effect. Similarly, as a software provider, its products do not have direct safety implications for physical or mental health, nor do they carry inherent health risks requiring disclosure. The company does not offer health-related products or services requiring accessibility considerations, nor does its business model directly involve serving vulnerable populations with health needs. Five9 commits to protecting Protected Health Information (PHI) and will enter into Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with covered entities and business associates, indicating strong data practices with a robust ethics framework.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

0

Five9, Inc. is a cloud software provider for contact centers, not a financial institution offering lending or deposit services to consumers. Therefore, KPIs related to consumer financial products, such as pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, fair lending compliance, wealth building outcomes, financial literacy initiatives, debt burden ratio, and product simplicity, are not applicable and score 0. Similarly, as the company does not have a loan or insurance book, inclusion initiatives and profit reinvestment are scored 0, as the company's core business lies outside finance. The company provides SEC filings in HTML, PDF, RTF, and XLS formats, which aligns with a score of -30 for data accessibility.
