Ethical Profile

Mixed.

HEIDEL.BETEIL.HLDG, a holding company, faces scrutiny regarding worker respect. Its 2023 annual report indicates 5 fatalities and a lost time injury frequency rate of 1.7. The 2024 annual report mentions compliance issues, including alleged compensation disputes in Egypt. Critics point to over $570,000 in employment-related penalties for offenses since 2000. While a Code of Conduct outlines ethical behavior, comprehensive data on living wages or subsidiary labor practices is largely unavailable. For most other areas like environmental impact, fair trade, or community respect, there is insufficient public information to evaluate the company's ethical standing, as its impact largely depends on its undisclosed subsidiaries.
