Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Shengfeng Development Limited (SFWL.US) presents a mixed ethical picture. Its CEO compensation of US$92k is notably below the US$639k average for similar firms. However, critics highlight a significant lack of transparency on worker pay, safety, and labor practices for this labor-intensive business. Environmentally, SFWL's new energy sector revenue grew 47% in FY23, now 17% of total. They purchased 16 electric heavy-duty trucks for US$1,550,000, planning 10% of future truck buys to be electric. Yet, no public data exists on overall emissions. Its logistics supply chain is allegedly exposed to unethical sourcing risks, including forced labor, with limited public disclosures.
