Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Lifetime Brands, Inc. (LCUT.US) holds a mixed ethical profile. Its core kitchenware and home products business has a neutral impact, though the company supports breast cancer research and food banks via Lifetime Cares. Acquisitions like S'well bottles and LiveWell Home Safety Solutions suggest some alignment with healthier, sustainable living, but these remain a small portfolio segment. Critics highlight a significant lack of specific quantitative data on ethical sourcing and broader sustainability. Despite a stated zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery and supplier evaluations, reports suggest insufficient transparency regarding audit frequency, traceability, or ethical sourcing data across its global supply chain, which carries inherent risks.
