Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

FRIWO AG is a manufacturing company that develops, manufactures, and distributes power supply solutions and charging technology.

Its core business does not involve lending, insuring, moving, or storing money for consumers. Therefore, all KPIs related to financial services, such as underserved client share, pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, inclusion initiatives, data accessibility, fair lending compliance, wealth building outcomes, profit reinvestment in community finance, financial literacy initiatives, debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion, and product simplicity, are not applicable to the company's operations. The provided articles do not contain any evidence of FRIWO AG engaging in financial services or offering financial products to consumers.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

No specific, quantitative data points were found in the provided articles to assess FRIWO AG against any of the Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing KPIs. The articles explicitly state a lack of information for fair trade certification share, audit frequency, forced/child labour incidents, traceability coverage, remediation speed, ethical clause coverage, materials risk index, and supplier diversity spend.

While general commitments to human rights and compliance with the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act were mentioned, these are not concrete, measurable facts that can be mapped to the rubric's quantitative thresholds for specific KPI scoring.

Honest & Fair Business

FRIWO AG has reported no ethics-related regulatory fines, convictions for anti-corruption or anti-bribery violations, or legal actions in the financial years 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The company has not had any financial restatements in the past five years. FRIWO provides a 24/7 multilingual, web-based whistleblowing system for employees and external stakeholders, allowing anonymous reporting and confidential dialogue, with reports carefully reviewed and measures initiated. The annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements for 2022, 2023, and 2024 received unqualified audit reports from Rödl & Partner or Baker Tilly. The company's sustainability report for 2023 and 2024 was audited by the Supervisory Board, but its content was not substantively reviewed by an external auditor. No members of the Supervisory Board or Management Board reported any conflicts of interest in 2022 and 2023. FRIWO has a code of ethics and anti-corruption guidelines that explicitly condemn facilitation payments and cover competition law, data protection, conflicts of interest, intellectual property, and insider trading. The company's ESG risk score from Sustainalytics is 21, with a controversy level of 'None' as of July 2025. FRIWO is certified in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO 14001.

Kind to Animals

FRIWO AG manufactures power supply solutions, charging technology, battery packs, and e-mobility solutions.

The provided articles, including annual and sustainability reports, focus on financial performance, energy consumption, emissions, waste management, and employee data. There is no explicit evidence or mention of animal testing, cruelty-free certifications, animal-derived ingredients, animal agriculture practices, wildlife conservation initiatives, or any related policies or investments. Given the nature of FRIWO's business in electronics manufacturing, these animal welfare metrics are not directly applicable to its core operations, and no relevant data was found in the provided materials. Therefore, all KPIs related to 'Kind to Animals' are omitted due to a lack of specific, concrete evidence.

No War, No Weapons

No explicit evidence was found in the provided articles for any of the KPIs related to the 'No War, No Weapons' ethical value. The articles primarily focus on financial performance, corporate structure, product applications (e-mobility, medical, industrial, tools), and general compliance with environmental and quality standards (RoHS, WEEE, ISO, EU Taxonomy). There is no mention of revenue from arms contracts

, dual-use technology with military applications , sales to embargoed regimes , peacebuilding investments , or any policies related to defense activities or conflict zones.

Planet-Friendly Business

In 2023, the company reported total Scope 1 and 2 emissions of 5,527.9 tCO₂e.

Scope 3 emissions are not measured. The company's 2023 capital expenditure aligned with the EU Sustainable Taxonomy was €4.0 million. In 2022, the total capital expenditure was €5.9 million, making the 2023 aligned capex approximately 67.8% of the 2022 total. The company reported no regulatory violations or fines in 2023. It holds ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO 14001 certifications.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

No specific, concrete data points were found in the provided articles for any of the KPIs related to 'Respect for Cultures & Communities'. While local employment ratios were mentioned as 7% in 2024 and 9.1% in 2023,

these figures do not align exactly with any of the defined quantitative thresholds in the rubric for the 'local_employment_ratio' KPI, thus preventing a score assignment. For all other KPIs, the articles explicitly state a lack of data or mention regarding community engagement, cultural impact assessments, partnerships, or related metrics.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

FRIWO AG reports that no hazardous waste is generated across its operations.

The company also states that no waste disposal violations or citations were reported for the period 2020-2023, indicating a strong compliance record over at least three years.
