Better Health for All

No specific, concrete evidence was found in the provided articles to assess Patrick Industries, Inc. against the 'Better Health for All' ethical value. The company's core business involves manufacturing and distributing components for recreational vehicles, manufactured housing, and industrial markets, which do not inherently relate to accessible medical treatments, preventative healthcare, or mental and physical wellness programs. The articles do not contain information regarding the health impact of the company's products or services, health-related revenue, user safety records, price accessibility of health products, reach to vulnerable populations, health risk transparency, health innovation investment, health externalities, health equity programs, healthcare workforce support, preventative health measures, healthcare data responsibility, global health crisis response, mental health initiatives, or any other health-related activities.

Workplace safety violations, while present in the evidence, are explicitly excluded from this value category as per the rubric's definition.

While the report mentions utilizing a third-party provider for conflict mineral due diligence, it does not provide a specific share of spend on high-risk materials, which is required for scoring the 'materials_risk_index' KPI.
