Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing
-50
Immersion Corporation's business model is primarily focused on licensing intellectual property, rather than manufacturing or procuring physical commodities. The provided articles contain limited information directly relevant to traditional fair trade and ethical sourcing practices for a manufacturing supply chain. The company requires written agreements with each third party to include provisions for compliance with the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws.

However, this evidence is specific to anti-corruption and does not indicate the inclusion of broader ethical-sourcing clauses related to labor practices, fair pay for producers, or supply-chain provenance, which are central to the 'Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing' value. Therefore, this evidence does not meet the criteria for positive scoring under 'ethical_clause_coverage' as it does not cover the full scope of ethical sourcing as defined by the rubric. Without evidence of broader ethical sourcing clauses, the score defaults to the lowest tier for this KPI.

No evidence available to assess Immersion Corporation on Honest & Fair Business.
