Ethical Profile

Mixed.

IperionX Limited (IPX.US) receives a mixed ethical rating. While its core business of titanium and rare earth mining inherently involves significant environmental impacts, including land disturbance at its Titan project, the company emphasizes its 100% recycled titanium powder. Reports suggest this product has a life cycle carbon footprint over 90% lower (7.8 kg CO2e/kg) than competing powders, utilizing a "fully circular" technology. IperionX also reports a comprehensive deforestation policy with 60-70% verified implementation. However, critics point to insufficient public data on overall environmental performance metrics like carbon emissions, water usage, and waste generation. There's also limited information available regarding fair pay, worker respect, ethical sourcing, or community engagement.
