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.
GM engines power Israeli tactical military vehicles including the Flyer 72 and IAI-produced vehicles. Chevrolet vans are in use at West Bank checkpoints. Several hundred vehicles were purchased in 2022. GM has not restricted these downstream military and checkpoint uses of its commercial platforms.
General Motors Company has no documented business operations, contracts, or revenue streams related to private prisons, immigration detention centers, juvenile detention facilities, or correctional services. The evidence gathered does not substantiate an exclusion under the private_prisons category, which requires ownership, operation, or significant revenue from such facilities or services. The search results reference legal proceedings, deferred prosecution agreements, and detention in a criminal justice context unrelated to GM's commercial activities. This record should be lifted.

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.
