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.
Burlington Stores, Inc. operates as an off-price retailer selling apparel, accessories, and home goods. Its business model involves sourcing and selling products that may incorporate materials derived from animals, such as leather, wool, down, and silk. The company's public Code of Conduct states it will not knowingly procure or sell items containing real animal fur, a policy adopted in November 2017 following public campaigns. However, this policy does not extend to other animal-derived materials commonly found in apparel retail. The company's product assortment and revenue remain tied to the commercial use of animals.

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.
