Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Stratasys's ethical profile is mixed. The company received a $20 million U.S. Navy contract for 3D printers and training, linking it to defense projects. Conversely, Stratasys significantly advances 'Better Health for All' through 3D printing, enabling improved surgical planning and patient-specific models with biocompatible materials. Environmentally, Stratasys reports reductions in GHG emissions and water intensity, with its SAF ReLife solution reducing PA12 carbon footprint by up to 89%. However, comprehensive emissions data is reportedly limited, and material recyclability is a challenge. The company upholds international quality standards, commits to anti-corruption, and reports no data breaches in two years.

Better Health for All

-40

there is no specific data on health literacy or public health education initiatives, and information accuracy is not consistently verified. The company's J5 Digital Anatomy printer is designed for a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO),
