Better Health for All

The company provides comprehensive benefits to its team members, including medical, dental, vision, and supplemental coverage, a 401k retirement savings plan with a discretionary company match, and paid college tuition or education reimbursement.

It also offers discounted bus passes at $4/round trip and free meals per shift. However, the company's core business of casino gaming is associated with potential negative health externalities, such as addiction. The company provides basic addiction controls and limited acknowledgment of these issues. There is no evidence of specific programs or investments by the company to address health disparities or promote equitable access to health services for vulnerable populations, nor is there evidence of investment in health literacy or public health education initiatives.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Monarch Casino & Resort, Inc. (MCRI.US) operates casinos and hotels, not financial services.

The provided articles do not contain any evidence that the company offers lending, insurance, deposit services, or other financial products to consumers. Therefore, all KPIs related to fair money and economic opportunity, which are designed for financial institutions, are not applicable to MCRI.US based on the available information, resulting in a score of 0 for each KPI.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

In the 2024 fiscal year, the CEO pay ratio was 67:1.

Employee reviews from January 2026 consistently describe a high turnover rate, with similar observations in January 2022 and August 2018. Regarding labor violations, one review from August 2018 alleges wrongful termination, and another review mentions allegations of wage theft and harassment, with complicity from HR and payroll.

Honest & Fair Business

The company has a formal Whistleblower Policy (LEG.0012), last revised on February 12, 2024, which covers accounting, internal controls, auditing, legal/regulatory non-compliance, and code of conduct violations.

It allows for open, confidential, and anonymous reporting via mail, a telephone hotline, and a website, with the latter two managed by an independent third-party service (Navex Global). The policy explicitly prohibits retaliation against good-faith reporters, with executives subject to criminal penalties, including imprisonment, for such acts. The Vice President of Internal Audit and Compliance is responsible for logging, tracking, and resolving reports. However, the policy lacks specific details on training frequency, uptake rates, or defined resolution times for complaints. The policy broadly addresses 'possible non-compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements,' which implies some anti-corruption measures, but it does not provide specific guidance on international operations or high-risk markets. The independent third-party management of the whistleblower hotline and website provides some external verification for the reporting mechanism.

Kind to Animals

Monarch Casino & Resort, Inc. (MCRI.US) is a service-oriented company focused on casino and hotel operations.

The company explicitly states that it does not engage in animal testing and does not use fur or specialty leather. Given its business model, which does not involve manufacturing products requiring animal testing or significant animal-derived inputs, most animal welfare KPIs are not applicable to its core operations.

No War, No Weapons

Monarch Casino & Resort, Inc. is a gaming and entertainment company focused on casino gaming and hotel operations.

The provided articles, including promotional offers and corporate governance information, do not contain any evidence of the company engaging in arms manufacturing, military contracts, dual-use technology development, sales to embargoed regimes, or any other activities related to the defense sector. Therefore, all KPIs are scored as N/A (0) because they are not applicable to the company's core business operations as described.

Planet-Friendly Business

The Monarch Black Hawk property achieved LEED Silver Certification in 2023.

Given the company operates two main properties (Monarch Casino Black Hawk and Atlantis Casino Resort Spa), this means 50% of its facilities are green certified.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

The company has no reported cultural appropriation incidents.

It donated $49,762 to local and national charitable organizations in the last year, with over $130,000 donated since 2020. Specific donations include $25,000 to Honor Flight Nevada, over $25,000 for the Reno Initiative for Shelter & Equality, over $20,000 for Nevada Diabetes Association, and contributions to the Nevada Museum of Art. However, the percentage of revenue donated to cultural heritage organizations is not provided, preventing a higher score for this KPI.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Monarch Casino Black Hawk implemented a 'straws-on-request' policy, which resulted in an estimated reduction of 182,500 straws and stirrers per month.

No regulatory actions, violations, fines, or compliance issues related to waste disposal were mentioned in the provided articles.
