Ethical Profile

Mixed.

IVU Traffic Technologies AG presents a mixed ethical profile. While 97% of employees praise flexible working hours and 90% feel comfortable, Glassdoor reviews suggest concerns regarding compensation, rated 3.1 out of 5 stars. The CEO's compensation is 8.6 times the workforce average. The company's software indirectly supports better health and a planet-friendly business by improving public transport efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions, also subsidizing employee public transport tickets up to €50/month. IVU maintains a whistleblowing mechanism, an anti-corruption policy, and ISO 27001 certification for data security, with no reported regulatory fines. However, critics point to a lack of specific data on key metrics like pay equity, health impacts, or data breach history.

1
The provided articles do not contain any specific, concrete data points or explicit statements regarding animal-related activities, policies, or impacts. There is no evidence of cruelty-free certifications, animal testing, humane certifications for operations, measurable wildlife conservation impact, use of animal-derived ingredients, supplier audits for animal welfare, cage-free sourcing, R&D investment in animal-free alternatives, animal agriculture ethics, animal-free R&D collaboration, or public policy engagement related to animal welfare.

The company states it does not conduct direct imports or processing of minerals or 'conflict minerals'.
2
It also explicitly states 'ESRS 2 SBM-1: Involvement in activities related to controversial weapons paragraph 40 (d) iii x x not applicable', indicating no exposure to controversial weapons.

While IVU's Code of Conduct states that compliance with internationally recognized human rights is a top priority, and an ESG policy adopted in 2024 clarifies expectations for customers and suppliers, an annual financial report from 2024 mentions 'non-respect of UNGPs on Business and Human Rights and OECD guidelines' as not material in ESRS S2-1 and S3-1.
