Better Health for All

The company's principal goods and services, which include marine support, specialist technical, and tankships, do not have a significant positive or negative health impact on the general public. There is no evidence of revenue generated from products or activities with well-established negative health outcomes. The company's products do not carry health risks that require specific disclosure or transparency to the general public. Innovation efforts, such as the ST3100 air compressor, are focused on protecting marine life and reducing noise, rather than directly improving human health outcomes or accessibility. Internal initiatives related to employee mental health, safety, and wellness, such as mental health first aid training

and zero fatalities in 2023, are considered workplace safety and worker rights, which are explicitly excluded from this value. Similarly, environmental emission standards for equipment are excluded as they pertain to environmental pollution control. The company's business model does not involve serving vulnerable populations with health needs or engaging in public health education. No health-related data is collected or managed by the company for external individuals. No evidence was found regarding price accessibility, global health crisis response, pharmaceutical patents, nutrition and food safety, or clinical trial ethics.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

James Fisher & Sons PLC is a marine services provider, and its core business does not involve offering lending, deposit, or other financial services to consumers.

Therefore, all KPIs related to consumer financial products, pricing, fees, lending practices, customer data portability for financial services, and financial literacy programs for the general public are not applicable. The company's initiatives, such as the Employee Sharesave scheme, pension contributions, and an Employee Assistance Programme for financial management, are internal employee benefits, not external financial services for customers. Similarly, its Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) initiatives and participation in programs like the Young Persons Guarantee and the 5% Club are focused on employment and training within its workforce and local communities, not on a loan/insurance book for underserved segments.
