Technology Companies Ranked by Current Ethics Evidence (2026)

Mashinii Research · · Updated

Mashinii score records retrieved on 13 September 2026.

Correction — 13 September 2026: Removed an invalid entry named “score” and recalculated the rankings. Unavailable dimensions are excluded from averages and are no longer counted as neutral scores.

Each recorded score ranges from −100 to +100. The average is the sum of available scores divided by the number of scored dimensions; the coverage column shows that number out of eleven. “—” means no score is available and is not zero. A recorded zero is neutral within this scoring system, not proof that a company has no problems.

Ranks compare only the companies listed here, not every company in the sector. Coverage differs between companies, so an average alone is not a complete like-for-like comparison or an investment recommendation. Exact ties share a rank; displayed averages are rounded to one decimal place. Where highest or lowest scores tie, one dimension is shown.

How to use this comparison

Use these scores as a route into the underlying evidence, not as a substitute for reading it. Open a company profile, choose the values that matter to you, and follow its direct citations. Company records can be incomplete, and a neutral score should never be read as an endorsement.

Search any company or read the latest research.
