Better Health for All

Lithia Motors, an automotive retailer, does not primarily operate in the healthcare sector, leading to many 'Not Applicable' scores for health-related KPIs. While the company engages in community initiatives such as providing overnight parking and supplies to homeless individuals, offering discounts and adaptive equipment to military veterans, and partnering with youth shelters and organizations supporting families with children receiving medical treatment, the articles do not provide quantitative data on the scale, reach, or funding of these programs to assess their impact on vulnerable populations or health equity. Similarly, although Lithia Motors planted 100,000 trees in 2022

and promotes sustainable transportation, there is no data on the scale of indirect health effects (externalities) to evaluate these mitigation efforts. Employee wellness programs, including health and wellness fairs and employee assistance programs, are excluded from this assessment as they pertain to worker respect, not the broader 'Better Health for All' value.
