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.
The Transition Pathway Initiative rates Alaska Air Group's emissions trajectory as aligned only to international pledges, falling below the Paris 1.5C pathway for the airline sector. Despite announcing a net-zero-by-2040 target and signing The Climate Pledge, Alaska Airlines is a member of Airlines for America (A4A), an industry association that InfluenceMap identifies as actively and negatively engaged on climate policy. The aviation sector broadly pursues lobbying strategies to avoid effective regulation, and InfluenceMap research documents that 58% of top companies' climate commitments clash with their corporate lobbying activities. Alaska Air has not published a formal audit of alignment between its stated climate targets and its trade association positions.

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.
