Ethical Profile

Mixed.

OneWater Marine Inc. presents a mixed ethical profile. The company has adopted a Financial Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct, prohibiting retaliation for whistleblowing, and operates a confidential hotline for financial concerns. It also complies with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, with approximately 70% of ethical claims independently verified. However, critics point to 15 customer complaints filed in the last three years concerning delivery, product, and service issues, with some reports suggesting the business did not make a good faith effort to resolve them. On environmental initiatives, OneWater Marine has an environmental policy and intends to purchase electric boats, yet quantitative data on emissions, renewable energy usage, or waste diversion rates is not publicly available, and its core business involves combustion engine boats.
