Ethical Profile

Mixed.

XP Power Limited exhibits a mixed ethical profile. The company offers high-efficiency medical power supplies, up to 95% efficient and meeting IEC 60601-1 safety standards, and sources 100% conflict-free minerals. XP Power targets net-zero carbon by 2040, with efficient products reportedly saving 140,300 tonnes of CO2. Yet, employee reviews suggest concerns about management, compensation, and career development, and European/US staff lack collective bargaining agreements. The company also has a minor defense presence, including a $15,600 U.S. Navy contract and military-grade power supplies. XP Power maintains robust anti-bribery policies and a cybersecurity framework with no reported material incidents.
