Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Purple Biotech Ltd. (PPBT.US) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing cancer therapies like CM24 and NT219, aiming to address critical health needs. While the company maintains a Code of Ethics and anti-bribery policies, it faced a regulatory challenge, receiving a 180-day extension from Nasdaq to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement. As a drug developer, Purple Biotech relies on animal testing, though reports indicate over 50% of internal safety and irritation assays utilize alternatives. With only 9 employees as of December 2024, comprehensive data on worker respect is limited. Ethos ESG also points to poor performance in reduced greenhouse gas emissions, noting no SBTI commitment.
