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.

Military Contracting
Since Jul 28, 2021

Babcock International Group is a major global defense contractor specializing in complex engineering and support services for military customers. The company designs, builds, and maintains critical naval, land, and aviation assets, including warships, submarines, armored vehicles, and military aircraft. Its core business model is providing through-life support, training, and infrastructure for national defense and security forces.

The company's military application is material and central to its operations. Babcock holds long-term contracts with the UK Ministry of Defence, such as the 30-year contract to manage the Devonport Royal Dockyard, a key facility for the Royal Navy's submarine fleet. The company also provides operational support for the UK's nuclear deterrent through its role in the Atomic Weapons Establishment and maintains critical infrastructure for military airbases. Its product and service portfolio is purpose-built for defense applications, distinct from incidental sales of dual-use goods.

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.
