Ethical Profile

Mixed.

SiTime Corporation's ethical profile is mixed, with limited public data across many areas. While the company reports annual cybersecurity training and GDPR/CCPA compliance, quantitative data on effectiveness is lacking. Critics point to SiTime's service to aerospace and defense sectors, noting an absence of public policies restricting sales to specific military applications. Furthermore, its US offices report 0% renewable energy use, and comprehensive environmental data, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, is largely missing. As a fabless semiconductor company, SiTime outsources manufacturing, yet detailed information on ethical sourcing, fair labor practices within its supply chain, and broader environmental impact remains largely undisclosed.
