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.
KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel small molecule protease inhibitors. Its drug development pipeline, which includes treatments for hereditary angioedema and diabetic macular edema, inherently requires animal testing to meet regulatory requirements for safety and efficacy. The company’s public filings explicitly state that its preclinical development process “involves nonclinical laboratory and animal tests” and that long-term studies, such as animal tests for reproductive toxicity and carcinogenicity, are part of its standard protocol. As a pharmaceutical company seeking FDA approval for new chemical entities, KalVista commissions and funds this animal testing as a mandatory component of its product development and regulatory compliance pathway.

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.
