Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Stellantis's ethical profile is mixed. The company has faced scrutiny over alleged air quality violations at its Detroit plant, and reports indicate a recall of 250,651 vehicles due to improperly sealed airbags. Conversely, Stellantis aims for carbon net-zero by 2038 and targets €2 billion in circular economy revenues by 2030, with initiatives like reusing cardboard saving over $375,000. It committed $13.8 million in local investment, promising nearly 5,000 new Detroit jobs, and equipped 1.8 million vehicles with an Emergency Vehicle Alert System. Data on fair pay, ethical sourcing, and comprehensive environmental metrics remains limited.
