Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Taoping Inc. receives a mixed ethical rating. While the company has an anti-fraud policy, reports suggest a lack of transparency regarding regulatory fines, financial restatements, and audit coverage. Critics point to its operations in China and digital advertising business as introducing risks to honest practices. Concerns also exist regarding limited disclosures on fair pay, worker safety, and ethical sourcing for hardware components, including potential conflict minerals. Its data-driven advertising, IoT, and AI solutions raise questions about data privacy, security, and AI ethics, with a reported absence of detailed disclosures. Taoping is involved in wastewater treatment, but specific environmental impact data is unavailable.
