Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Coya Therapeutics prioritizes **Honest & Fair Business**, with a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics set to be effective March 2025, outlining anti-corruption and FCPA compliance. A whistleblower policy allows anonymous reporting via a third-party, protecting against retaliation. For **Fair Pay & Worker Respect**, Glassdoor reviews suggest a 3.8/5 worker engagement score, improving 10% in the last year, with 83% employee recommendation. However, as a clinical-stage biotechnology company, Coya's R&D activities inherently involve animal testing, which critics point to as a conflict with **Kind to Animals** values. Information on environmental impact, ethical sourcing, or broader community engagement remains limited.
