Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Shineco, Inc. faces scrutiny over its financial stability and worker treatment. Reports indicate a $5.96 million working capital deficit and past Nasdaq compliance issues. Executives have notably agreed to a nominal $1 annual salary until a $1 billion market cap is reached, while CEO compensation was $73.4k, below US peer averages. Positively, Shineco reports a 68% reduction in plastic waste and 52% in carbon emissions via sustainable packaging, investing $420,000 in carbon reduction and $350,000 in water conservation. Waste conversion systems allegedly reduce landfill waste by 65%, with an 85% material recovery rate. However, comprehensive data on Scope 1, 2, 3 emissions or supply chain ethics remains largely unavailable. The company does maintain formal whistleblower and anti-corruption policies.
