Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Is Forward Industries (FORD.US) ethical? The company, which designs and distributes protective cases, faces scrutiny for its involvement in the firearms industry, as it provides carrying cases for weapons. Critics point to this as directly supporting an industry conflicting with 'No War, No Weapons' principles, though the revenue percentage from such products is undisclosed. Beyond this, Forward Industries shows limited transparency across several key ethical areas. There is insufficient public data on fair pay and worker respect in its international manufacturing and distribution operations (US, Poland, Germany, China), making it difficult to assess labor practices. Similarly, detailed information on ethical sourcing, anti-corruption policies, or environmental metrics like emissions and waste diversion is not publicly available. This lack of disclosure extends to data security and sustainable product design, resulting in a mixed ethical profile.
