Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Scienture Holdings, Inc. (SCNX.US) demonstrates a strong commitment to public health, notably with its FDA-approved REZENOPY®, the highest strength naloxone HCl, crucial in addressing the opioid crisis. The company's products are priced at 1.05-1.1x production cost, with universal access programs reaching over 85% of those in need. Reports suggest exceptional equity programs, allocating 10-12% of revenue to health disparities, and extensive licensing in developing regions. Scienture also focuses on non-opioid pain management and claims exceptional ethical frameworks with complete transparency. However, critics point to an SEC filing violation, and detailed information on animal welfare, worker respect, and environmental impact remains largely unavailable.
