Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Sight Sciences, Inc. reports 2024 Scope 1 emissions of 7,655 kg CO₂e, Scope 2 of 32,125 kg CO₂e, and Scope 3 of 2,169,524 kg CO₂e. The company is making efforts to reduce air freight and consolidate shipping, and aims for improved energy efficiency and waste reduction. However, critics point to a lack of comprehensive environmental data beyond emissions reporting. Its reliance on single-use medical devices allegedly conflicts with zero-waste principles. Sight Sciences also maintains a Supplier Code of Ethics & Conduct, covering business ethics, social responsibility, human rights, and environmental standards, though quantitative data on compliance is not available.
