Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Ultralife Corporation's ethical profile is mixed, with significant involvement in defense. Reports indicate 36% of its 2023 revenue, and 41.55% of Q1 2025 revenue, derived from military contracts for communication systems and battery technology. This focus on military applications raises concerns regarding the 'No War, No Weapons' value. Environmentally, critics point to a DitchCarbon score of 25, notably higher than the industry average of 2. One facility has been linked to a high risk for respiratory, water, and soil contamination, with an alleged environmental impact score of 50%. While complying with RoHS and REACH, Ultralife lacks public data on emissions or renewable energy. Transparency is also limited on fair pay and ethical sourcing.
