Better Health for All

Fox News, a principal service of Fox Corporation, significantly undermined public health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its content downplayed the virus's severity

, spread misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines , and provided misleading recommendations . This led to reduced social distancing , slower adoption of protective measures , and increased vaccine hesitancy among viewers , resulting in severe, widespread health damage. Journalism professors accused the network of spreading coronavirus misinformation . Fox Corporation also made charitable commitments exceeding $300,000 , which included providing mental health resources for student veterans .

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Fox Corporation's financial services segment, Credible, emphasizes and ensures compliance with federal and state regulations, including the Truth-in-Lending Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act.

However, there is no evidence of proactive fair-lending audits beyond this stated compliance. Credible operates as a consumer finance marketplace, and there is no specific focus on underserved communities or economic inequality reduction initiatives within its financial services offerings. As an online platform, it does not operate physical financial service access points. While Fox Corporation makes charitable commitments, such as over $400,000 for youth workforce development and over $20 million in philanthropic efforts, these are not part of its financial services portfolio or dedicated inclusion programs.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Fox Corporation has faced three substantiated labor-law or human-rights violations in the past three years. In June 2023, Fox News settled a $12 million lawsuit alleging a workplace environment of bigotry and misogyny.

In February 2022, Fox Television Stations settled unfair labor practice charges. Additionally, in June 2021, Fox News agreed to a $1 million penalty following an investigation into pervasive sexual harassment and retaliation.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Fox Corporation, operating in the media and entertainment industry, has limited direct involvement in traditional supply chains where fair trade and ethical sourcing are typically scrutinized

. Consequently, the company does not procure or trade physical commodities, nor does it have material sourcing of at-risk inputs . Fox Corporation has established policies for its suppliers and subcontractors, emphasizing high standards of integrity, legal compliance, and ethics . These policies explicitly require adherence to all applicable labor laws and regulations, including the avoidance of forced and child labor, fraud, corruption, and bribery . Suppliers are expected to comply with Fox's Standards of Business Conduct and Human Rights Statement . The company is dedicated to conducting business with integrity and avoiding the use of goods or services generated by forced labor or human trafficking . However, there is no specific, quantifiable data available regarding supplier audit frequency, the number of forced or child labor incidents, supply chain traceability, remediation speed, or the percentage of contracts with enforceable ethical clauses.

Honest & Fair Business

Fox Corporation incurred a $1 million penalty in June 2021 from New York City's Commission on Human Rights following an investigation into allegations of pervasive sexual harassment and retaliation.

New hires are required to complete training on preventing harassment, discrimination, and retaliation, with periodic training for existing employees.

Kind to Animals

, supporting beehive programs , and donating to numerous animal welfare non-profits , the provided articles do not contain the specific quantitative data points (e.g., percentage of revenue, specific biodiversity impact metrics, or audit percentages) required by the rubric to assign a score to any of the KPIs.

Safe & Smart Tech

Fox News experienced a breach exposing personally identifiable information for over 65,000 employees due to an unencrypted and non-password protected internal database.

This indicates significant weaknesses in encryption implementation, authentication security, and vulnerability management. Despite stating compliance with regulations like CCPA and GDPR and having a comprehensive ethics and compliance program , this incident suggests implementation gaps. The company has an AI governance process led by technology, legal, and privacy teams , focusing on fairness-aware models and deepfake detection. Fox provides a dedicated portal for users to access, delete, or correct personal information , though complete deletion may not always be possible due to technical or legal reasons.
