Ethical Profile

Mixed.

AAP Implantate AG's ethical profile is mixed. Its auditor, Baker Tilly, did not issue an opinion for the 2023 financial statements due to "audit impediments," with the company allegedly publishing them to avoid a six-figure penalty. Conversely, AAP Implantate AG develops orthopedic implants with a strong safety record, reporting only 1-2 adverse events per million. The company invested significantly in R&D, with 24% of employees in R&D in 2013, and aims to offer quality products at fair prices in emerging markets. Despite a supplier Code of Conduct and conflict-free minerals policy, critics note a lack of quantitative evidence on ethical sourcing implementation.
