The decision to move Dyson's headquarters to Singapore in 2019 faced criticism in the UK, with some accusing Dyson of tax avoidance and betraying British workers. Dyson defended the move as necessary for the company's global growth.

Over the years, there have been some allegations regarding labor practices at Dyson's factories, particularly overseas. Dyson has generally refuted these claims and emphasized the company's commitment to ethical and responsible manufacturing.

As a manufacturer of appliances, Dyson faces ongoing scrutiny regarding the environmental impact of its products and its carbon footprint. The company has invested in sustainability initiatives but continues to face challenges in reducing its overall environmental impact.
