This parameter measures the social impact of ownership by parties associated with controversial activities such as human rights violations, human trafficking, poaching, illegal hunting, gun/drug-related activities, or other illegal and dangerous activities. Ownership can manifest in tangible forms like personal property or land, as well as intangible forms like intellectual property. If an entity is owned by parties whose values are not in alignment with the organization's values, they are considered controversial parties.
