Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Uxin Limited's ethical profile is mixed. The company faced a securities class action alleging violations related to its 2018 IPO, raising concerns about transparency. While its business model promotes vehicle reuse, Uxin's environmental performance is a concern; DitchCarbon scores it lower than 92% of industry peers, and its 2022 ESG report lacks quantitative data on emissions or waste. In tech, Uxin uses 256-bit SSL encryption and complies with PIPL, but information on AI ethics governance, algorithmic transparency, or comprehensive security practices like bug bounties is unavailable, despite its use of AI for vehicle valuation.

0

Uxin Limited's core business of facilitating used car sales does not have a direct positive or negative impact on health, nor does it involve health-related products or services.

There is no evidence of investment in health innovation, engagement in health crisis response, or mental health initiatives.
2
The company's business model is not applicable to KPIs related to pharmaceutical patents, nutrition, addiction mitigation, or clinical trial ethics.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

0

Uxin Limited operates as an online used car dealer, facilitating transactions and offering services like inspection, valuation, and title transfer assistance.

1
The company's core business does not involve offering lending, deposit, or other financial products that would generate APRs, fees, or a loan/insurance book. Therefore, KPIs related to these financial services, such as pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, inclusion initiatives, fair lending compliance, wealth building outcomes, profit reinvestment in community finance, financial literacy initiatives, debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion for financial services, and product simplicity for financial products, are not applicable to its operations.

0

No evidence available to assess Uxin Limited on Fair Pay & Worker Respect.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

40

Uxin operates a 100% inventory-owning model, which gives it full control over the supply chain of used vehicles.

1
This implies a high level of transparency regarding the provenance of the vehicles it acquires. The company also formulates uniform quality control criteria for non-standard used vehicles.
2
While not explicitly stating 100% mapped provenance with advanced technologies like blockchain, the claim of 'full control' over the supply chain for all inventory suggests a very high degree of traceability for its primary inputs (used cars).
