Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Ametek Inc. presents a mixed ethical profile. Critics point to a settled 2023 gender discrimination lawsuit where a female finance manager was allegedly overlooked for promotion. Challenges in ethical sourcing include its 2021 Conflict Minerals Report, which indicated 24% 'DRC Conflict Undeterminable' and 7% 'unknown' products. The company also derives revenue from the defense sector, supplying components for military applications. Conversely, Ametek's Foundation contributed over $1.5 million to health nonprofits during COVID-19. The company has reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity by 26% since 2019 and reported its lowest lost-time incident rate in 2022. Waste diversion efforts include recycling over 12,000 lbs annually at one facility.
