Clarus Corporation (CLAR) ESG Analysis Analysis (2026)

Invetso Score: 6.2/10 — Balanced · Last Updated: 2026-09-01

Monthly Update

No material changes this month.

Environmental

Score: 5.8 (Moderate)

CLAR’s disclosed R&D intensity is zero in the provided metrics, which limits evidence of environmental innovation versus peers that fund cleaner-process or product development.

The company’s low leverage reduces balance-sheet pressure, but it does not by itself indicate superior environmental management relative to peers with explicit emissions or resource targets.

No direct emissions, energy, water, or waste metrics were provided, so environmental positioning remains difficult to distinguish from peers on material operational impacts.

Absent Tier 1 or Tier 2 disclosures on climate and resource use, CLAR appears neither clearly advantaged nor structurally disadvantaged versus peers on environmental factors.

Social

Score:

Stock-based compensation equals 1.7% of revenue, suggesting moderate employee alignment, but the metric is less informative than peer disclosures on retention, safety, and engagement.

The provided data contain no workforce, safety, diversity, or customer-responsibility indicators, limiting evidence that CLAR outperforms peers on core social risks.

Low leverage can support operational stability, yet it does not directly translate into stronger labor or community outcomes relative to peers.

On available information, CLAR’s social profile looks broadly neutral versus peers, with no disclosed social strengths large enough to offset missing evidence.

Governance

Score:

Debt-to-equity of 0.09 and net debt to EBITDA of 0.40 indicate conservative capital structure, which generally reduces creditor pressure and governance strain versus leveraged peers.

Stock-based compensation at 1.7% of revenue suggests some dilution discipline, but peer comparison is limited without board, ownership, and pay-governance disclosures.

The absence of reported governance controversies in the provided data avoids a clear negative, yet it also leaves CLAR without evidence of best-in-class oversight versus peers.

Overall governance appears somewhat better than average on capital discipline, but not strong enough to indicate a clear peer-leading governance position.

Overall Score

Score:

CLAR’s ESG positioning is broadly neutral to slightly better than average versus peers, with the clearest relative support coming from conservative leverage and limited governance strain.

Score Driver: Conservative Leverage And Modest Dilution Support Governance More Than Environmental Or Social Differentiation.
