Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Franco-Nevada (FNV.US) is a royalty and streaming company, providing capital to mining firms rather than operating mines directly. This business model means its ethical impact is largely indirect, and specific data on its influence is limited across many areas. While FNV holds ESG ratings like Sustainalytics Gold, MSCI AA, and ISS ESG Prime, granular details on environmental metrics, worker respect, or ethical sourcing are largely unavailable. Critics point to the potential for FNV's financing decisions to indirectly affect local communities and cultural heritage, noting a possible conflict between profitability and prioritizing community engagement. Concrete evidence to fully assess these indirect impacts remains insufficient across most ethical categories.

Better Health for All

0

Franco-Nevada Corporation's business model as a gold-focused royalty and streaming company means that many 'Better Health for All' KPIs are not directly applicable. The company does not produce health-related products or services, engage in healthcare R&D, manage health data, or conduct clinical trials. Therefore, KPIs such as health_impact_core, harmful_revenue_share, safety_record, price_accessibility, vulnerable_reach, risk_transparency, health_innovation_investment, healthcare_data_responsibility, pharma_patent_flexibility, nutrition_and_food_safety, addiction_mitigation, and clinical_trial_ethics are scored at 0, indicating no direct positive or negative health impact from its core business or that they are not applicable.

1
No specific, concrete data was provided in the articles regarding health externalities, health equity programs, healthcare workforce support, preventative health measures, global health crisis response, mental health initiatives, or healthcare education to allow for scoring these KPIs.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

0

Franco-Nevada Corporation is a gold-focused royalty and streaming company that does not operate mines or develop projects.

The ethical value 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' and its associated KPIs are designed to assess financial institutions based on their direct provision of financial services, pricing, and inclusion initiatives for consumers.
