Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Bitcoin Group SE's ethical profile is mixed. German regulator BaFin identified deficiencies in a subsidiary's due diligence and suspicious activity reporting related to money laundering and terrorist financing, though no fines were imposed. While its subsidiary Bitcoin.de undergoes annual customer balance audits, the company's ESG report lacks third-party assurance. As an investor in cryptocurrency and blockchain, Bitcoin Group SE is indirectly linked to an industry whose carbon footprint is significant, with reports suggesting energy consumption comparable to mid-sized countries. The inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies also presents potential risks to financial inclusion.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

0

No specific, concrete data points were found in the provided articles to assess ADE.XETRA against any of the Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing KPIs. The articles primarily discuss financial performance, general trends in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, or the broader use of Bitcoin in illicit activities, without providing information on ADE.XETRA's supply chain practices, certifications, audits, or incidents related to fair trade or ethical sourcing. The company's business model as a holding company investing in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology suggests it may not have a traditional supply chain involving physical commodities, which many of these KPIs are designed to measure. However, without explicit evidence stating 'N/A' for these KPIs in relation to the company's operations, they cannot be scored as such.
