Ethical Research · reviewed 10 Nov 2026

Every company researched. Every one labelled for ethics.

We research every company on an investment basis and show its ethics label beside it: what the business actually does, how it is financed, and whether it clears our boycott check. Our curated lists and our own trading book hold only names that pass. The method, its review date and its limits stay in view, so this is reviewed evidence, not a colour-only verdict. How we show ethics

Open the ethical screener How the screen works

How the screen works

Three checks, shown on every company.

The screen is documented and dated. It labels every company we cover, and filters only our curated lists and our own trading book. It is not portfolio, position or performance data, and not an instruction to trade. It does not reduce reviewed evidence to a binary label.

Check one

Business activity

What the company actually earns from. Names deriving meaningful revenue from excluded activities, such as interest-based lending, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, adult content and weapons, do not pass this step.

Check two

Financial ratios

How the balance sheet is built. We measure debt, interest-bearing holdings and non-operating income against defined thresholds, so a business can pass on activity yet still be set aside on financial structure.

Check three

Ethical exclusions

A name may clear activity and ratios and still be flagged on ethical grounds, such as documented controversies, harmful conduct or the boycott list. The boycott check is shown as its own label on every company. It is a hard filter for our curated lists and our own trading book, not for our research. How we show ethics

Passing does not mean recommended.

A sample of names currently clearing the values and ethics screen. Clearing the screen is an eligibility state, not a call to buy. Run the full screener for the current list and each name's own research.
