Ethical Profile

Mixed.

ESGL Holdings Limited, a waste management and recycling company, aims for 100% renewable energy use in its waste treatment processes. The company developed NEWSPAR, a material from semiconductor waste used for sustainable bricks, showcasing circular design. Its Singapore site holds ISCC PLUS recertification, and it received a UNGC award. However, reports indicate a 39.1% decline in circular product sales. While ESGL's operations inherently support environmental solutions, detailed quantitative data on emissions, waste diversion, fair labor practices, or ethical sourcing initiatives is largely unavailable, making a comprehensive ethical assessment challenging.
