Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Kuros Biosciences AG demonstrates a commitment to improving health outcomes, with its MagnetOs product achieving a 78% spinal fusion rate in trials, significantly higher than autograft (45%). In smokers, this rose to 80% versus 32%. The company saw 2024 revenue increase by 125% to CHF 75.6 million. Kuros maintains robust internal controls, including 100% audit coverage, whistleblower protection, and explicit anti-bribery policies. However, information is limited regarding product price accessibility or health equity programs. Reports also suggest a lack of data on fair pay, worker respect, ethical sourcing, and comprehensive environmental metrics beyond a 2024 waste recycling target of 50%. The company also restated 2023 comparative information due to an accounting policy change.
