Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Astronics Corporation's ethical profile is mixed. Approximately 23.23% of its revenue stems from military and defense contracts, including a reported $290 million U.S. Army contract. Military aircraft sales allegedly surged 94.8% to $33.3 million in Q1 2025. Critics point to this involvement as fundamentally conflicting with "No War, No Weapons" values. On environmental stewardship, Astronics lacks publicly available carbon emissions data or company-wide reduction targets. However, its Diagnosys subsidiary has an environmental policy for regulatory compliance and waste disposal, and some products, like the EmPower Ultralite G2, reportedly offer improved efficiency and thermal energy reduction.
