Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. is an asset management firm, and its core business does not involve the procurement or trade of physical commodities. Consequently, KPIs related to fair trade certification, supply chain audits for physical goods, forced/child labor incidents in a manufacturing supply chain, traceability of physical provenance, remediation speed for sourcing violations, and materials risk are not applicable to its operations. The provided articles confirm a lack of quantitative data for these specific metrics, aligning with the nature of the company's service-based business model.

No evidence was found for supplier diversity spend, leading to its omission.

Kind to Animals

Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. is a diversified global asset management firm. Its core business involves investment management and advisory services. The provided articles focus on the company's ESG integration, employee programs, and general corporate responsibility, including memberships in organizations like UNPRI and SASB Alliance, and engagement in proxy voting on ESG issues.

However, there is no explicit evidence in the articles regarding animal testing, cruelty-free certifications, humane operations, wildlife conservation impact, ethical input substitution, cage-free sourcing, or specific animal welfare policies or investments in animal-free alternatives.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

Victory Capital has established five formal partnerships with local community groups, including Xavier University of Louisiana, the University of Texas at San Antonio, the San Antonio Spurs, The Children's Hospital of San Antonio, and the Nevada State Treasurer/College Savings Board.

The company has reported no cultural appropriation incidents. As an asset management firm, its operations do not typically impact cultural contexts, and thus, no specific cultural impact assessment protocol or FPIC processes are applicable. While the company made a $1,107 book donation to the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum, there is no specific percentage of reinvested funds allocated to cultural preservation. Similarly, while Victory Capital matches donations to arts and cultural organizations, the articles do not provide a specific percentage of company revenue donated to cultural heritage organizations. The company uses AI and linguistics algorithms to ensure inclusive language in job posts and communications, but a specific language inclusivity score is not provided. In response to the Uvalde school shooting, the company donated $60,000 to the Robb School Memorial Fund, indicating a reactive response to a cultural incident. Employees annually complete an inclusive culture course, but there is no specific data on the percentage completing cultural sensitivity training.
