Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Oramed Pharmaceuticals presents a mixed ethical profile. The company reduced chemical waste by 22% in 2023, saved 245,000 kWh, and invested $750,000 in carbon offsets. However, its environmental impact ranks 555th out of 585 industry peers, with a low SDG Transparency Score of 35.2 and significant data gaps on key metrics like Scope emissions. Information is largely insufficient to assess fair pay, worker respect, ethical sourcing, or animal welfare practices. While oral insulin development could offer future environmental benefits, current transparency is limited.
