Better Health for All

Quantum Corporation's core business of data storage and management solutions has no significant direct positive or negative health impact, as its products are not inherently health-related. The company does not generate revenue from products with direct health impacts, nor does it offer health-related products or services requiring accessibility considerations. Its R&D is not focused on health-related outcomes, and its business activities do not involve health equity, healthcare workforce development, or preventative health measures. The company's operations are not directly relevant to health crisis response, and its products do not have addiction potential or require clinical trials. Quantum Corporation does not hold healthcare-related patents or produce food/nutritional products. The company provided additional on-demand professional mental health resources for employees and their families, which is a substantial internal program.

Quantum Corporation collects and manages sensitive data, including from job applicants for regulatory compliance, and states it complies with various data privacy frameworks, including the EU-U.S. DPF, UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. DPF, and is certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce for adherence to these principles. It commits to referring unresolved privacy complaints to Truste and is subject to FTC oversight, demonstrating exceptional data practices and a perfect track record with health data protection.

Honest & Fair Business

Quantum Corporation restated its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

This constitutes one restatement within the past five years.

Kind to Animals

The company, Quantum Corporation (QMCO.US), is a data storage and management solutions provider. While one article states that QMCO.US engages in animal testing for medical analysis and clinical research, it explicitly notes that no quantitative data on the volume of animal testing, specific types of animals used, or reduction goals are provided.

Furthermore, no information is available regarding any animal testing policies, alternative testing methods employed by the company, or any other animal welfare practices. Other articles discuss the general potential of quantum computing to reduce animal testing or general regulatory shifts, but these do not pertain to QMCO.US's specific actions or policies. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the available evidence.

No War, No Weapons

No specific, concrete data points were found in the provided articles to assess Quantum Corporation against the defined KPIs for the 'No War, No Weapons' value. The articles primarily discuss the company's Conflict Minerals Report for Calendar Year 2024, noting a 92% response rate from contacted suppliers for data and that 70% of verified smelter/refiner locations are conformant, active, under review, or in communication with the Responsible Minerals Initiative.

However, this information does not directly align with the quantitative thresholds of the 'conflict_minerals_percentage' KPI, which requires a percentage of the supply chain certified free from conflict minerals. The provided data describes aspects of the due diligence process and smelter status, not a direct certification percentage for the entire supply chain. No other relevant data points were available for any other KPIs.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

The provided articles, which are general overviews of Quantum's products and services, do not contain any specific, concrete information or data points relevant to the defined KPIs for 'Respect for Cultures & Communities'.

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

Safe & Smart Tech

Quantum Corporation has reported no data breaches and no incidents of unauthorized data use.

The company's privacy policy states certifications to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. However, the company has faced significant regulatory issues. As of March 31, 2024, it reported material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, leading to restatements of prior financial statements for 2023 and 2022. The company is not in compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing standards due to minimum bid price and filing requirements, receiving a delisting notice. The SEC also revoked QMCO's Exchange Act registration, and the company is delaying its 2025 Form 10-K filing due to an ongoing review of revenue contract accounting practices.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Quantum Corporation reported no fines for regulatory violations and no enforcement actions related to environmental or regulatory compliance practices in FY2023.

The company also renewed its Colorado wastewater No Exposure Exemption permit. Quantum removes flammable materials, lead, mercury, and batteries from devices prior to recycling. The company recycled over 6 tons of e-waste and prioritizes the reuse of electronics, which is 25 times more carbon-efficient than recycling. Quantum utilizes contract manufacturers with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.
