Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Outdoor Holding Company (POWW.US), operating GunBroker.com, faces significant ethical scrutiny. Its core business, facilitating firearms and ammunition sales, is fundamentally at odds with 'Better Health for All' and 'No War, No Weapons' values, as critics point to inherent health risks and contribution to gun violence. This model also reportedly impacts animal welfare by enabling hunting equipment sales. The company's environmental performance raises concerns, with an ESG Risk Score of 16 from Yahoo Finance, notably higher than the category average of 2.0, and a Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating of 19.9, suggesting an 'inherently misaligned' business model with planet-friendly values. Many other ethical areas lack sufficient public data for assessment.
