Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Datasea Inc. (DTSS.US) receives a mixed ethical rating, with limited data available across many key areas. The company reports sourcing 22.6% of its energy from renewables and achieved a 17.3% reduction in electronic waste in 2023, alongside a 15.4 metric ton carbon emission reduction. However, critics point to a lack of SBTi-validated targets and comprehensive sustainability initiatives, leading to a low negative environmental score. Information on fair pay, ethical sourcing, and honest business practices is largely insufficient. Furthermore, despite its focus on smart city and security solutions, reports suggest a lack of transparency regarding data protection and AI ethics governance.
