Ethical Profile

Mixed.

SANUWAVE Health, Inc. receives a mixed ethical rating. As a medical device company, its focus on non-invasive ultrasound and shockwave technology for wound treatment and orthopedic applications inherently supports "Better Health for All," aiming to improve patient outcomes and reduce recovery times. However, comprehensive data on the company's practices across many other ethical dimensions is largely unavailable. Reports indicate insufficient evidence to assess its performance regarding fair pay, worker respect, ethical sourcing, honest business practices, animal welfare, environmental impact, or community engagement. This widespread lack of transparency makes a full ethical profile challenging.
