Ethical Profile

Mixed.

First United Corporation's ethical standing is mixed, with limited public data available across many key areas. While its core financial services business generally has a neutral impact on various values, the company demonstrates community commitment. Reports indicate over $900,000 in donations in 2018 supported children's, agricultural, educational, and social organizations. However, specific information on fair labor practices, environmental initiatives, or ethical sourcing is not readily available, hindering a comprehensive assessment.

Better Health for All

0

First United Corporation operates as a bank holding company, providing financial services such as checking, savings, loans, and wealth management. These core business activities do not inherently have a direct positive or negative impact on health outcomes, nor do they typically involve health-related products or services that would fall under the scope of most KPIs in the 'Better Health for All' category. While the company offers Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), these are financial products that facilitate health savings rather than directly providing health services or products.

1
The articles mention sponsorships of non-profits like 'On Eagles' Wings' which provides therapeutic horsemanship, and a housing program for Union Rescue Mission, but these are not the firm's principal goods or services.
2
An internal 'Spend Life Wisely' initiative promotes employee wellness but does not constitute a direct health-related offering to the public or a measurable expenditure on preventative health measures as defined by the rubric.
3
There is no evidence to suggest the company's operations generate significant health externalities, engage in health-related R&D, or have direct health safety implications for users.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

0

No evidence available to assess First United Corporation on Fair Money & Economic Opportunity.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

0

No evidence available to assess First United Corporation on Fair Pay & Worker Respect.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

0

First United Corporation operates as a bank holding company, providing financial services. Its core business model does not involve the procurement or trade of physical commodities, nor does it have a supply chain that would typically require fair-trade certifications, audits for physical goods, or involve exposure to upstream labor practices related to manufacturing or agriculture.

1
Therefore, KPIs such as fair-trade certification share, audit frequency for physical goods suppliers, forced/child labor incidents in upstream supply chains, traceability of physical provenance data, remediation speed for such violations, and spend on high-risk materials are not applicable to its operations.
2

The articles included a court opinion detailing a credit discrimination claim, a Nominating & Governance Committee Charter outlining board responsibilities and referencing NASDAQ independence requirements, and a general summary of governance documents. However, none of these provided quantitative metrics or scores for regulatory fines, transparency index, whistleblower policy, financial restatements, audit coverage, ESG controversy scores, complaint resolution time, board conflict-free percentage, anti-corruption policy strength, or third-party verification of ethical claims.
