Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Blueprint Medicines Corporation (BPMC.US) develops targeted cancer and rare disease therapies, offering patient co-pay assistance up to $25,000 annually. However, critics point to a lack of quantitative data on drug price accessibility. The company faces an investigation by the Schall Law Firm for alleged securities law violations regarding clinical trial disclosures. On the positive side, Blueprint Medicines demonstrates strong employee respect, with a CEO pay ratio of 35:1 and a 4.4/5 Glassdoor rating, 28% above industry average. Their 2023 OSHA incident rate was 0%. Despite these efforts, there's limited public data on living wage coverage, environmental impact, or animal testing policies.
