Ethical Profile

Mixed.

E-Commerce China DangDang Inc.'s ethical profile appears mixed. The company was subject to a Beijing court ruling ordering it to reinstate a trans woman employee and pay 120,000 yuan ($17,069) in overdue salary, suggesting potential labor rights issues. Employee reviews also point to concerns regarding high work pressure, bureaucracy, and communication problems. While Dangdang reportedly experimented with biodegradable bags in 2014, current data on sustainable product initiatives is limited. Information on other ethical areas, including fair trade, honest business practices, or data security, is largely unavailable, making a comprehensive assessment difficult.
