Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Ultra Clean Holdings (UCT) demonstrates a mixed ethical profile. In ethical sourcing, UCT conducts due diligence on conflict minerals, surveying 191 suppliers with a 75% response rate. However, it was unable to definitively determine the country of origin for these minerals, classifying them as 'DRC conflict undeterminable.' Approximately 85% of contracts include robust ethical clauses. For planet-friendly business, UCT is a member of the Semiconductor Climate Consortium and SuCCESS2030, and reports suggest 78% of its key GHG vendors disclose emissions and have net-zero targets. Critics point to a general lack of specific quantitative data on UCT's own environmental impact, worker respect, and other key ethical metrics.
