9
However, the proportion of these health-related products relative to the company's entire portfolio, which includes Graphics and Connectivity segments, is not specified, making it difficult to assess the overall net health effect or the reach to vulnerable populations quantitatively against the rubric's thresholds. Similarly, while some initiatives are mentioned, their scale and impact are not quantified against the rubric's specific thresholds for other KPIs.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

0

Smith Micro Software, Inc. is a software company that does not offer lending, deposit, or other financial services to consumers.

1
Therefore, KPIs related to financial products, services, or customer financial outcomes are not applicable. The company does not generate or manage customer finance data, nor does it provide debt products.
2
While the company's products are designed for global reach and include features like easy-to-use interfaces and simplified navigation,
3
these relate to general software product design and accessibility, not specifically to financial product simplicity or geographic inclusion for financial services. The company's ethics policy mentions fair dealing and compliance with laws,
4
but these are general statements and not specific to financial services or quantitative metrics for this value.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

0

No specific, quantifiable evidence was found in the provided articles for any of the KPIs related to Fair Pay & Worker Respect. While the CEO's total compensation of $897.70K for 2024 was mentioned,

1
there was no data on median employee compensation, making it impossible to calculate the CEO to median pay ratio.
2
Information regarding living wage coverage, collective bargaining share, safety incident rate, pay equity ratio, worker engagement score, turnover rate, labor violation incidents, insecure contract share, or health insurance coverage was not provided.
3

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

0

Articles 0 and 2 outline general ethics and business conduct policies but lack any measurable data on supply chain practices, certifications, or incidents.

1
,
2
Article 1 refers to the policy of a different company, N.F. Smith & Associates, L.P.,

0

Information regarding regulatory fines, transparency index scores, whistleblower policies, financial restatements, audit coverage percentages, ESG controversy scores, complaint resolution times, board conflict-free percentages, anti-corruption policies, or third-party verification of ethical claims was not available.

1
While an auditor issued an unqualified opinion on the company's 10-K filing for the period ending December 31, 2024, this opinion included doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, but it does not provide data for any of the specific KPIs.
2

,
2

3
,
4
The company's business model has a low level of materiality regarding this value, as its core activities do not inherently threaten or support cultural heritage or indigenous rights. Without specific data, a neutral score is assigned.
5

Safe & Smart Tech

-30

Smith Micro Software, Inc. has no documented data breaches.

1
Its privacy policy, updated in June 2023, states the use of commercially reasonable safeguards, including firewalls, digital SSL certificates, intrusion detection systems, and database encryption.
2
The company also states it will investigate security breaches and notify individuals as required by law.
3
There are no documented incidents of unauthorized data use.
4
The company states it complies with GDPR (effective May 25, 2018) and CCPA, offering California residents rights to know, access, delete, correct, and opt-out of data sharing, and provides a toll-free CCPA hotline.
5
However, the company's data minimization practices are limited, with data retained for the period necessary to fulfill purposes unless a longer period is required by law, and it collects a broad range of personal data including precise geolocation, device identifiers, and social media information.
6
User control over personal data is moderate, with options to view, edit, or delete data for many products and limit app access to location, but the company's core products like SafePath OS for Kids Phone and SafePath Family primarily offer parental controls over children's devices and data, rather than direct control for all users over their own personal data.
7
The company provides a contact email (secdis@smithmicro.com) for reporting vulnerabilities, but there is no evidence of a formal bug bounty program, scope, or response times.
8

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

0

No specific, concrete data points were found in the provided articles that directly map to the quantitative thresholds of the 'Zero Waste & Sustainable Products' KPIs. While mentions a '35% improvement' in 'Waste Reduction Initiatives' and '14,500 pounds' of electronic waste recycled in 2023, these figures lack the necessary context (e.g., total waste, baseline, specific percentage of total waste diverted) to be mapped to the rubric's quantitative thresholds for waste diversion or specific initiatives.

1
Similarly, '27% Product Lifecycle Extension' is an improvement but cannot be scored against the 'product_durability' KPI without an industry standard comparison or specific lifespan data.
2
The 'EcoVadis Bronze Medal' and '78th percentile among industry peers' from are general sustainability ratings and do not provide the specific quantitative metrics required by the rubric's KPIs.
3
Several articles explicitly stated that no sustainability data was available or that specific data points for waste management and sustainable products were absent.
