Lear Corporation is screened out under 1 exclusion reason spanning 1 issue category.
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. It is a statement of values.
Lear Corporation is a major global automotive supplier whose core business includes the production of automotive leather seating. The company sources and processes hides from the meat industry to manufacture leather interiors, a business activity that directly commercializes animal by-products on an industrial scale. This places the company within the animal exploitation supply chain.
While Lear publishes a commitment to animal welfare in its supply chain, this commitment pertains to the treatment of animals whose hides it uses, acknowledging its role in an industry built on animal exploitation. The company operates a non-compliance hotline for reporting animal welfare concerns within its supply chain, indicating the material risks inherent in its business model.

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.
