This machine-readable page is derived from Amanah's existing public Human Rights Risk Score pages. It is provided so AI agents and crawlers can read the same core information without executing the JavaScript application.

## Simple Explanation

The Human Rights Risk Score helps readers understand whether a company appears in well-known public human rights sources and how serious those reported concerns may be.

Amanah states that it does not invent the underlying claims. The score reviews information that already exists in public sources and organizes it into an easy-to-understand risk signal.

The score is not a court ruling, legal judgment, official human rights certification, or investment advice. It is a starting point for further research.

## What the Score Tries to Answer

The public guide describes the score as answering this basic question:

How often does this company show up in relevant public human rights sources, and how serious are the concerns described there?

## Sources Used

Depending on the company and issue, public sources may include:

- United Nations findings and OHCHR publications.
- International Court of Justice records.
- Official government sanctions lists.
- AFSC and similar public human rights screening databases.
- Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
- Public human rights watchlists and issue trackers.
- NGO reports and public research publications.
- Court judgments, regulatory rulings, and official enforcement records directly tied to a named company.
- Public databases that document corporate involvement in controversial activities.
- Established ESG ratings.

The public guide states that not all sources carry equal weight. Official bodies and court records are treated as stronger evidence than campaign materials or advocacy publications.

## How the Score Is Built

The public guide describes three broad areas of assessment:

1. Business ties to high-risk situations, including involvement in the Israeli occupation and its impact on Palestinians, forced labour systems, sanctioned regimes, and documented persecution of communities.
2. Hard evidence of actual violations, including formal legal findings, official rulings, active court or regulatory proceedings, credible allegations, and direct involvement in warfare or occupation.
3. External signals, including established human rights and responsible business benchmarks, documented actions of senior leadership, and investment ties to companies or operations linked to occupation-related activities.

The guide states that recency, seriousness, and directness of company connection are considered.

The guide also states that detailed internal scoring workings are kept confidential so companies cannot game the system.

## Risk Categories

The public guidance describes seven categories:

| Score range | Category | Action |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 0.0-2.9 | Minimal Risk | Preferred - Generally aligned with tayyib portfolio criteria. |
| 3.0-4.9 | Low Risk | Review - Looks good; further reading still recommended. |
| 5.0-5.9 | Moderate Risk | Monitor - Acceptable with ongoing review. |
| 6.0-6.9 | Elevated Risk | Scrutinise - Read the original sources before proceeding. |
| 7.0-7.9 | High Risk | Caution - May not meet tayyib portfolios screening criteria. |
| 8.0-9.0 | Very High Risk | Flag - Strong grounds for further scrutiny. |
| 9.1-10.0 | Extreme Risk | Ineligible - Does not align with tayyib investment principles. |

## Result States

The public pages describe these states:

- Calculating: the system is searching public sources.
- Scored: a result is ready, including score, risk category, and evidence summary.
- Minimal Risk / no evidence found: the system found no significant public-source material at the time. This is not a certification that the company is problem-free.
- Unavailable: the score could not be calculated due to a temporary data access issue.

## Scope and Roadmap

The public Human Rights Risk Score pages state that the score currently applies to stocks only. ETF, mutual fund, and other types are on the roadmap.

## Updates and Review Requests

The public pages state that scores are reviewed every quarter. Changes may reflect new reports, corrected sources, or updated severity assessments.

If a material error is found outside the quarterly cycle, Amanah says it will be corrected promptly with a note on the company profile.

Companies may request a review if public-source material has been removed, corrected, withdrawn, or misattributed. Amanah states it aims to assess accepted review requests within 30 days. Submitting a request does not guarantee a change.

## Important Disclaimers

Amanah states that Human Rights Risk Scores are educational and informational only.

They are not:

- Legal findings.
- Court judgments.
- Regulatory rulings.
- Sanctions.
- Blacklists.
- Investment advice.
- Legal, financial, compliance, or professional advice.
- Proof of wrongdoing.
- Endorsements or certifications.

A lower score does not mean there is no human rights risk. A higher score does not by itself mean legal liability or wrongdoing has been formally established.

Readers should review original sources wherever possible and should not rely on the score alone for legal, investment, compliance, business, or other high-stakes decisions.
