Ethical Profile

Mixed.

New Home Company Inc. receives a mixed ethical rating, largely due to a lack of transparent data across many key areas. While employee reports suggest a positive workplace culture, with an average Glassdoor rating of 4.3 out of 5, exceeding the industry average of 3.7 stars, specific data on fair pay, safety, or labor practices remains unavailable. Critics point to the residential construction model's inherent conflicts with 'Planet-Friendly Business' and 'Zero Waste & Sustainable Products' values, given its significant environmental impact and resource consumption. However, there is insufficient public evidence to assess the company's specific mitigation efforts or initiatives in these crucial areas, or regarding ethical sourcing, community respect, or honest business practices.

Better Health for All

0

The company's core business is home building, which does not directly involve health products or services that would typically fall under many of the "Better Health for All" KPIs. Consequently, several KPIs are scored as 'Not applicable' because the business model does not involve health-related products, services, or specific considerations for health equity, workforce development, or data management. While one article discusses the general importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) in new homes, mentioning features like radon mitigation and reduced VOCs, it does not provide company-specific data on the percentage of NWHM.US's products incorporating these features, the company's investment in such innovations, or its specific safety record. Similarly, a discount program for "heroes" (including healthcare professionals) on home purchases is mentioned, but it is not an initiative to strengthen healthcare workforce capacity or address health disparities in the context of health needs.

No evidence is provided regarding health-related R&D investment, health externalities, or health education initiatives specifically attributable to NWHM.US.
