Ethical Profile

Mixed.

RENK GROUP AG has a mixed ethical profile. A significant portion of its EUR 926 million 2023 revenue, including USD 150M+ from RENK America, derives from defense transmissions. This conflicts with 'No War, No Weapons' and 'Better Health.' Concerns also include a suspected 2023 export control violation and exceeding its CO2 budget by 1.2 times. Strong 'Honest & Fair Business' practices include a top 15% transparency index, whistleblower system, and 95% anti-corruption training. Environmentally, RENK targets net-zero by 2040, sourced 55.8% renewable electricity (2023), and recycled 84.8% of waste.
