Ethical Profile

Mixed.

KPS AG holds a mixed ethical profile. The company has been recognized as a "Great Place to Work," maintaining a 3.9 out of 5-star Glassdoor rating and a 99% CEO approval. However, reports suggest salaries may not be competitive, with an Indeed.com pay and benefits rating of 3.0 out of 5 stars. Crucial data on living wage coverage, pay equity, and safety incident rates remains unavailable. Regarding environmental impact, KPS AG reported 873 tonnes of CO2 emissions from business travel in 2022/2023, yet comprehensive quantitative data on Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, renewable energy use, or waste diversion is currently lacking. Many other ethical areas lack sufficient public information for a definitive assessment.
