Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Steyr Motors AG receives a mixed ethical rating. The company's core business of manufacturing diesel engines inherently conflicts with planet-friendly practices, as it lacks clear initiatives for cleaner alternatives. Furthermore, its direct involvement in supplying engines to the military sector, with reports indicating Q1 revenue growth driven by defense demand, raises significant concerns regarding "No War, No Weapons" values. While its Supplier Code of Conduct outlines ethical expectations for suppliers, comprehensive data on Steyr Motors' own labor practices or detailed ethical sourcing for its components, including potential risks like conflict minerals, is largely unavailable.

Better Health for All

-70

The company's core business is the design, development, and production of diesel engines.

These products inherently generate emissions that are known to cause negative health impacts, such as respiratory issues.
2
As all of the company's products are diesel engines, 100% of its product portfolio and revenue are derived from goods with established negative health outcomes. The value definition for "Better Health for All" explicitly excludes "environmental pollution control," meaning efforts to meet emissions standards or obtain certifications aimed at reducing environmental impact cannot be considered as mitigation or health benefits under this specific value. Therefore, the company's products cause widespread health damage with no redeeming health benefits, and 100% of its revenue is from products with serious health harms without relevant mitigation.
