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.
Domino's Pizza Inc. maintains a significant lobbying presence despite its stated policy against direct political contributions. The company reported $320,000 in federal lobbying expenditures in 2024, focusing on issues including food labeling, labor regulations, and tax policy. This activity represents a documented effort to influence the regulatory environment in which it operates.
While the company states it does not use corporate funds for direct political contributions and does not have a political action committee, its substantial lobbying expenditure constitutes political influence. The West Yorkshire Pension Fund noted concerns over the company's sustainability policies and practices in 2024, casting an oppose vote against its sustainability program. This suggests investor scrutiny regarding the alignment of its public policy engagements with broader sustainability commitments.
Major lawsuit for wage theft; payroll software programmed to underpay employees; 78% of stores paid below minimum wage.

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.
