Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Gauzy Ltd.'s ethical profile is mixed. Employee reviews on Glassdoor suggest a 4.1/5 rating, with 71% recommending the company and compensation & benefits improving by 7% to 3.5/5. Some praise competitive pay, yet critics point to concerns like poor management, lack of transparency, and inadequate training. Gauzy has an agreement with a workers' union in France. Its CEO compensation is $1.79M, above average for similar US companies. However, there is a lack of public data on living wage coverage or pay equity. Additionally, Gauzy's aeronautics segment raises questions, as its technologies could potentially have dual-use applications, with no explicit statements against military use.

Better Health for All

0

Gauzy's core products, including smart glass and safety tech, deliver significant health benefits. Smart glass enhances infection control by replacing germ-collecting curtains, provides privacy, regulates light (blocking up to 99% of light and harmful UV rays), controls temperature (reducing indoor temperatures by up to 15 degrees C), and offers sound insulation.

Safety tech products like Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Camera Monitor Systems (CMS) reduce accidents and improve driver safety.
2
The company's products do not have significant negative health impacts. Gauzy's products are fully homologated and meet strict regulatory standards, including UN Blind Spot and Moving Off Information System regulations, with R46 Smart-Vision® homologated since 2017 and ISO 26262 homologated since 2017.

However, the initial high cost of smart glass technology makes it less accessible, primarily prevalent in high-end buildings, and the high cost of safety-tech is a barrier to expansion.
4
The company's products are designed to proactively meet and exceed UN Vehicle regulations protecting Vulnerable Road Users, but the high cost limits widespread adoption.
5
Gauzy's products contribute to preventative health by blocking harmful UV rays and replacing germ-collecting curtains.
6
Operations also generate positive health externalities by reducing energy consumption for lighting, heating, and cooling.
7
The products support well-being through controlled privacy, light, and temperature, and minimize the need for artificial lighting.
