Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Lindsay Manufacturing (LNN.US) presents a mixed ethical picture. Its irrigation systems aid food security and water conservation, and road safety products boost public safety. However, transparency is a notable concern. While a supplier code of conduct exists, reports suggest a lack of quantitative data on fair trade certifications or supply chain traceability, raising questions about global sourcing oversight. Similarly, despite claims of water and energy savings from FieldNET™ solutions, the company lacks specific data on Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions or published sustainability reports. Key worker metrics, such as living wage coverage or safety incident rates, remain undisclosed.
