Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Porsche's ethical standing is mixed. The company was implicated in the VW emissions scandal, raising transparency concerns, and critics point to potential conflicts of interest with Oliver Blume's dual CEO role at Volkswagen and Porsche. A 2024 strike indicated worker dissatisfaction, and reports show a 15.4% median hourly gender pay gap and a 48.9% median bonus gap in its UK retail group. In 2018, a data breach allegedly compromised over 28,700 customer email addresses in Japan. Positively, Porsche maintains a bug bounty program and remanufactures components, reportedly cutting greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50% and material use by 80%. It also pilots battery recycling, recovering up to 90% of raw materials.
