Ethical Profile

Mixed.

HMS Bergbau AG, a coal trading company, presents a mixed ethical profile. While the company states it has been CO2-neutral since 2020, critics point out this doesn't address the inherent negative health impacts of coal combustion, including air pollution and respiratory illnesses. Its core business is seen as conflicting with 'Better Health for All' and 'Planet-Friendly Business'. Reports suggest significant ethical sourcing challenges in the coal industry, with potential links to forced labor and unsafe conditions in regions like South Africa and Russia. The company also holds a low SDG Transparency Score of 34.1.
