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.

Animal Exploitation
Since Mar 12, 2026

1stdibs.com operates a luxury online marketplace where approximately 1.9 million listings include a significant volume of products derived from animals. The company's core business model facilitates the sale of high-value items such as furniture, art, and jewelry, which often incorporate materials like ivory, tortoiseshell, exotic leathers, and furs. These goods are sourced from wildlife and farmed animals, and their sale on the platform constitutes commercial exploitation.

The company’s public filings and marketplace activity show no published policy prohibiting the sale of products made from endangered species or their parts, nor does it appear to restrict items derived from animal exploitation that fall outside specific child categories like fur or meat. As a luxury resale platform, 1stdibs.com enables and profits from this trade. The evidence gathered does not specify revenue percentages from animal-derived goods, indicating a need for further investigation into the scale and nature of these listings to assess materiality against the firm’s aspiration for this code to cover less than 5% of flags.

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.
