Better Health for All

The provided articles do not contain any specific, concrete data points relevant to the 'Better Health for All' ethical value. Both and explicitly state that no information is available regarding the company's products, services, or operations related to health impacts, initiatives, or any of the detailed metrics within this category.

Therefore, no KPIs can be scored.

Kind to Animals

No specific, concrete evidence was found in the provided articles to assess HBH.XETRA against any of the 'Kind to Animals' KPIs. The articles contained general financial information, details about marketing campaigns for other entities, or general information about animal welfare standards without mentioning HBH.XETRA's direct involvement or performance. Information regarding factory audits pertained to general product quality and compliance, not specifically animal welfare.

Therefore, all KPIs related to animal welfare are omitted due to a lack of relevant data.

No War, No Weapons

HORNBACH Holding AG & Co. KGaA is a DIY retail company, and its annual report explicitly states that all KPIs related to arms, defense, dual-use technology, military sales, and conflict-zone activities are 'Not applicable' to its business.

The company's core operations are in DIY retail, project business, and real estate, which do not involve arms manufacturing, military contracts, or conflict facilitation. The company's non-financial report also does not contain information on these topics, consistent with its business model.

Planet-Friendly Business

HORNBACH Holding AG & Co. KGaA reported total Scope 1, 2, and partial Scope 3 emissions (Fuel and Energy-related Activities) of 13,577 tCO2e for both FY 2021/2022 and FY 2022/2023.

The company has targets to reduce Scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions in line with the 1.5-degree target, but these are not explicitly stated as SBTi-validated. The company's waste recycling rate is 14.8% of 58,003 tonnes of total waste generated. The use of renewable electricity led to a reduction of 1,344 tCO2e in FY 2022/2023, but the overall percentage of operational energy from renewables is not disclosed. The company has established a taxonomy screening process for capital expenditure, with 5-10% of capex aligned with the EU Sustainable Taxonomy.

Safe & Smart Tech

The company experienced a catastrophic data breach where 184,162,718 records were exposed, including logins and plaintext passwords.

This incident involved an unmanaged database controlled by a customer, indicating negligent security practices. Suspected fraudulent user activity and illegal content uploads were also noted. The company responded by shutting down access to the database and implementing improvements to its reporting system. The exposure of plaintext passwords points to weak authentication security. The presence of an unmanaged server and the need for reporting system improvements suggest inconsistent vulnerability management.
