While Lakeside Holding Limited received a Nasdaq deficiency letter regarding shareholders' equity and subsequently took action to regain compliance, the articles do not indicate any ethics-related regulatory fines were imposed.

Therefore, no KPIs could be scored based on the evidence provided.

No War, No Weapons

Lakeside Holding Limited operates as an investment vehicle focused on cross-border supply chain solutions and pharmaceutical distribution.

The provided articles explicitly state that there is no mention of the company engaging in arms or defense-related activities, nor any revenue derived from such contracts. There is also no specific mention of dual-use technology, sales to embargoed regimes, peacebuilding investments, or any other defense-related activities or policies. Therefore, all KPIs are scored as N/A due to the absence of any evidence indicating involvement in war or weapons-related business.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Lakeside Foods, a subsidiary, has a history of significant waste disposal violations. In August and September 2023, the company received a Notice of Violation for 216 permit and city code violations related to the unauthorized discharge of unmeasured production water into Owatonna's municipal wastewater system, leading to an estimated bill of $282,000 and an additional $44,000 invoice.

Previously, in 2018 and 2019, Lakeside Foods violated pollutant limits in its wastewater discharge permit 16 times and failed to report a spill, resulting in an $11,225 civil penalty. The company implements several waste reduction initiatives, including sending harvested products with imperfections and plant waste to farmers for animal feed or fertilizer, donating finished products not meeting quality standards to food banks, and recycling used oil, cardboard, cans, batteries, and wood pallets. For material efficiency, a newly installed bean washer at one location saves 10 million gallons of water annually, and a closed-loop piping system reduces water use by millions of gallons each year.
