Ethical Profile

Mixed.

PFISTERER Holding SE receives a mixed ethical rating. The company shows strong cybersecurity commitment, investing 2-3% of revenue (above industry average) with no data breaches in three years. It maintains a formal whistleblower policy and an EcoVadis Silver rating, reporting no regulatory fines. Environmentally, PFISTERER targets a 90% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2029 (from 2020), achieving 35% reduction, and aims for 100% renewable energy by 2030. However, Scope 3 emissions were high at 258,834 tCO₂e in 2024, and the recycling rate decreased 10%. Reports suggest a lack of transparency on fair pay, with some employees ranking compensation/benefits in the bottom 5-10%.
