Ethical Profile

Mixed.

InterDigital presents a mixed ethical profile. For worker respect, the 2024 CEO pay ratio was 39:1, though transparency on living wage or pay equity is lacking. Environmentally, InterDigital's data centers used 52% renewable electricity in 2023. However, the company reportedly doesn't track specific climate metrics or Scope 1, 2, 3 emissions. In Safe & Smart Tech, InterDigital provides mandatory cybersecurity training and employs robust measures. Critics, however, point to a dated cybersecurity policy and an absence of AI ethics governance. The dual-use potential of its wireless and AI technologies also raises concerns regarding military applications.
