Ethical Profile

Mixed.

NN, Inc.'s ethical standing shows a mixed picture, with limited public data in many areas. For worker respect, reports indicate a 2024 CEO pay ratio of 90:1, alongside a median employee pay of $16,776. Comparably.com data suggests 7 employees ranked their compensation in the bottom 5% of similar-sized companies. While the company manufactures medical/surgical tools and components for transportation electrification, potentially aiding health and planet-friendly initiatives, specific evidence on broader environmental impact, ethical sourcing, or community engagement is largely unavailable. Its involvement in the aerospace and defense sector also raises questions about its alignment with 'No War, No Weapons,' though specific data is lacking.
