Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Tilray Brands faces a class-action lawsuit over alleged misrepresentation. Tilray Medical researches THC/CBD benefits, but critics cite potential negative health impacts from recreational cannabis/alcohol, with hemp-derived THC drinks projected to reach $750M in US sales by 2029. Environmentally, Tilray invests in sustainable cultivation (95% less water, 40% less energy), targets 35% carbon reduction by 2025; Good Supply diverts over 131,000kg of plastic annually. Reports suggest a low DitchCarbon score (25), high Sustainalytics ESG risk (37.1), plus a lack of public carbon data. Ethical sourcing lacks quantitative data, though a supplier code prevents forced/child labor.
