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.
The Hain Celestial Group has set a public target to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with the Paris Agreement. However, an analysis by InfluenceMap finds that many corporate climate pledges, like this one, do not align with companies' actual policy advocacy. Hain Celestial has not published a detailed, time-bound transition plan for its operations and supply chain to substantiate its long-term goal. The company's public climate disclosures acknowledge material risks from climate-related water scarcity but lack the specific, short-term targets and capital allocation plans necessary to demonstrate a credible pathway to its stated ambition. This pattern of setting a forward-looking goal without commensurate, immediate action and transparent accountability constitutes a misleading climate commitment under the exclusion criteria.

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.
