Better Health for All

EHang Holdings Limited's core business is autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) technology for various applications, including passenger transportation and emergency rescue solutions.

While the company is participating in the SAFIR-Med project to demonstrate eVTOL medical air mobility, aiming to improve healthcare accessibility, this is described as a research and demonstration project rather than a deployed product or service with established, quantifiable health outcomes. No articles provide specific, measurable data points regarding the net health effect of the company's principal goods or services, revenue from products with negative health outcomes, user safety records (e.g., adverse event rates), pricing accessibility for health-related products, or the extent of reach to vulnerable populations with health needs. Furthermore, there is no evidence of specific investments in health innovation, health equity programs, or any other health-related initiatives or disclosures that can be quantitatively assessed against the provided rubric.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

EHang Holdings Limited is an autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) technology platform company, focused on designing, developing, manufacturing, selling, and operating AAVs for passenger transportation, aerial sightseeing, logistics, smart city management, and emergency rescue solutions.

The company also provides AAV maintenance, training, and consulting services. The provided articles contain no evidence that EHang offers lending, deposit, or other financial services to consumers, nor do they indicate that EHang operates as a financial institution. Therefore, all KPIs under the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value, which are designed to assess financial institutions and their impact on financial inclusion, are not applicable to EHang's business model. Information such as the company's gross margin, debt-to-equity ratio, or investment in R&D relates to its core AAV business and internal financial health, not to the provision of fair financial services or economic opportunities for underserved populations through financial products.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

The company's worker engagement score is 1.6 out of 5 on Glassdoor, with only 6% of employees recommending working there.

Compensation and benefits are also rated low at 1.6 out of 5, with reviews citing pay below industry standards and poor medical benefits.

Kind to Animals

EHang Holdings Limited is an autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) technology platform company.

The provided articles discuss the company's focus on urban air mobility (UAM) systems, regulatory approvals for airworthiness, and environmental impact assessments for vertiports, which include considerations for noise, emissions, and potential wildlife impacts such as bird strikes. However, there is no evidence that the company's products involve animal-derived ingredients, animal testing, animal husbandry, or animal agriculture. Consequently, all KPIs related to cruelty-free certification, alternative testing methods, humane certifications for operations, ethical input substitution, supplier audits for animal welfare, cage-free sourcing, animal testing policies or volume, R&D investment in animal-free technologies, animal agriculture ethics, animal-free R&D collaboration, or public policy engagement on animal welfare are not applicable to EHang's business model based on the provided information.

No War, No Weapons

Ehang International Trading (HK) Limited, an entity also known as EHang International Trading, was added to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Entity List on June 28, 2022.

This sanction was due to its involvement in proliferation activities and using deceptive practices to supply Iran with U.S.-origin items that would provide material support to Iran's military industries. Iran is a sanctioned regime, indicating regular sales to an embargoed regime via deceptive practices. EHang's autonomous drone technology is explicitly identified as dual-use, having both civilian and military applications. The company's involvement in supplying military industries with U.S.-origin items via deceptive practices suggests a lack of civilian-first innovations and a willingness to facilitate military use.

Safe & Smart Tech

EHang experienced a cybersecurity incident in July 2023 that caused a temporary disruption in its internal approval OA system, but no sensitive data leakage was reported.

The company's privacy policy, last modified in December 2016, states that encryption technology, such as SSL, is used to protect certain sensitive information like location data, and its communication system is secured with data-encryption technologies. The company's code of conduct and privacy policy outline a commitment to safeguarding data from unauthorized access and complying with information privacy laws, and no specific incidents of unauthorized data use have been documented. However, the privacy policy's last modification date of December 2016 suggests that user data control options may not reflect current best practices, as it only mentions the right to request copies, corrections, and deactivation of personal information, with deletion subject to technical limitations and a reasonable period after account termination. EHang states compliance with PRC's Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law, and Personal Information Protection Law, and mentions regulations requiring user consent for personal information collection and options to turn off algorithm recommendations, but no specific details on their compliance program or any penalties are provided. The company acknowledges that its measures may not prevent unauthorized access and that cybersecurity incidents may remain undetected for an extended period, and states that manufacturers must take immediate remedial measures and inform users if UAVs have network or data security defects or loopholes.
