Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Identiv, Inc. receives a mixed ethical rating. The company positively impacts public health by securing pharmaceutical supply chains, enhancing vaccine efficacy, and combating counterfeiting with RFID solutions. However, critics point to issues in ethical sourcing, as several suppliers allegedly provided incomplete conflict mineral smelter lists. While Identiv has a whistleblower hotline and anti-bribery policies, public data on regulatory fines or controversies is scarce. Environmentally, Identiv's Thailand facility is ISO 14001 certified, and they produce eco-friendly RFID tags from renewable paper, recycling excess aluminum. Yet, comprehensive quantitative data on overall environmental performance remains limited. Information on worker respect and economic opportunity is also insufficient for a full assessment.
