Ethical Profile

Mixed.

GlucoTrack, Inc. (GCTK.US) aims to enhance health outcomes by developing non-invasive and implantable glucose monitors for diabetes patients, potentially improving quality of life. However, reports indicate the company utilizes animal testing for product development and regulatory approval, with critics pointing to a lack of transparency regarding animal welfare standards and alternative methods.

Information on fair pay, ethical sourcing, and environmental impact remains largely unavailable for a full assessment.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

-50

As of December 31, 2024, none of the company's eleven full-time employees were represented by a collective bargaining agreement.

1
For worker engagement, the company has a Glassdoor rating of 5.0/5 based on a single review,
2
and employees rate overall compensation and benefits 4/5 stars. The Glassdoor rating of 5.0/5 from one review is not sufficient to score the worker engagement KPI, as it lacks a broader, representative engagement score. However, the 4/5 stars for compensation and benefits is a specific employee rating,
3
which translates to 80% satisfaction. This falls into the -60 tier for worker engagement, as it is below the 40/100 threshold for positive engagement.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

-20

GlucoTrack's implantable CBGM design significantly reduces single-use plastic, replacing approximately 73 disposable sensors with one piece of electronic waste over 36 months, which represents a 98.6% reduction in items.

1
The device is designed for continuous use for up to 3 years, exceeding typical industry lifespans.
2
The core design of the implantable CBGM is a waste reduction initiative, focusing on long-term use and minimizing disposables, aligning with circular economy principles. However, the company does not explicitly state waste reduction targets beyond the inherent design benefits. While the FDA focuses on proper disposal of hazardous materials like heavy metals and batteries in electronic devices for 2025,
3
there is no specific evidence of GlucoTrack's hazardous waste management practices or minimization efforts, only a general compliance approach. The company has no reported waste disposal violations in the past three years. The material input per unit and packaging-to-product ratio are implied to be reduced compared to traditional CGMs, but no specific quantitative data is provided to compare against industry averages.
