This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Acumen Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biotechnology company whose drug development pipeline relies on animal testing for preclinical research and regulatory compliance. The company’s lead therapeutic candidate, ACU193, is an antibody designed to treat Alzheimer’s disease, and its development has involved in vivo studies in animal models as a standard step toward clinical trials. As a pharmaceutical research entity, Acumen’s operations inherently fall under the Animal Welfare Act and other regulatory frameworks that permit and require animal use in biomedical testing. This places the company within the broad category of enterprises that commercially exploit animals for product development, specifically under the animal testing exclusion criterion.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
This information is provided for educational and transparency purposes only and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Data is drawn from independent watchdogs, NGOs, government registries, and Ethical Capital's ongoing research — see Research Sources for the full list.
