    Risks Related to Corporate Social Responsibility

    •We are subject to risks related to corporate social responsibility.•The consideration of corporate social responsibility or ESG factors in making investment and voting decisions is relatively new, and frameworks and methods used by investors for assessing corporate social responsibility or ESG policies are not fully developed and vary considerably among the investment community. We have published reports and policies that relate to corporate social responsibility or ESG, including human rights, ESG, and our political and lobbying activities in the past and may continue to do so in the future.•These policies, practices and reports, whether it be the standards we set for ourselves or ESG criteria established by third parties, whether or not we meet such standards, and the level of disclosure we provide in our reports may influence our reputation. For example, the perception held by our governmental partners, vendors, suppliers, shareholders, other stakeholders, the communities in which we do business or the general public may depend, in part, on the standards we have chosen to aspire to meet, whether or not we meet these standards on a timely basis or at all, whether or not we meet external ESG factors they deem relevant and the level of disclosure we provide relating to human rights, ESG, and our political and lobbying activities.•The subjective nature and wide variety of frameworks and methods used by various stakeholders, including investors, to assess a company with respect to ESG criteria can result in the application or perception of negative ESG factors or a misrepresentation of our corporate social responsibility or ESG policies and practices.•Our failure to meet human rights or ESG criteria set by third parties, or provide the disclosure relating to human rights, ESG, political and lobbying activities which any third parties may believe is necessary or appropriate could adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.•When we elect to publicly report on corporate social responsibility or ESG, our business may face increased scrutiny. As a result, our reputation could be adversely impacted if we fail to act responsibly in the areas in which we report.•Any harm to our reputation resulting from setting these standards or our failure or perceived failure to meet such standards could impact: the willingness of our governmental partners, vendors and suppliers to do business with us or the quality of our relationships with our governmental partners, vendors and suppliers; our ability to access capital in the debt or equity markets; our investors willingness or ability to purchase or hold our securities; and employee retention and the quality of relations with our employees, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.•Certain states have proposed legislation to direct or prevent pension investments and financial institutions from basing their investment decisions on ESG standards and ratings.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
