Ethical Profile

Mixed.

OmniAb, Inc.'s ethical standing is mixed. Critics highlight the company's core reliance on genetically engineered animals (OmniRat, OmniChicken, OmniMouse, OmniTaur) for antibody discovery as a fundamental conflict with animal welfare. However, OmniAb's technology indirectly aids in developing potentially more effective and safer therapeutics. The company has recycled 4552 lbs of lab plastics and uses reusable crate systems. OmniAb also upholds a Code of Business Conduct, an anonymous ethics hotline, and an anti-corruption policy. While Glassdoor reviews show a 4.7 rating and 100% CEO approval, detailed data on fair pay and worker safety is not available.
