Ethical Profile

Mixed.

FORTEC ELEKTRO has achieved carbon-negative status, showcasing significant environmental commitment. Its headquarters uses geothermal heat pumps and green electricity, with the Eisenach site transitioning to green power in 2024. The company promotes e-mobility and uses recycled paper. However, FORTEC ELEKTRO's involvement in defense raises concerns, including a reported EUR 3.5 million contract pipeline and a EUR 0.5 million order for drone defense systems. While an ethics hotline and anti-corruption policies exist, reports suggest a lack of comprehensive cybersecurity and proactive data protection. Data on ethical sourcing and worker respect is largely unavailable.
