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.
Lennar Corporation has accumulated a documented pattern of regulatory violations across multiple domains, including environmental, workplace safety, and consumer protection. According to ViolationTracker, Lennar has paid over $20 million in penalties, including $13.2 million for False Claims Act violations, $7.1 million across 27 environmental violations, and multiple wage and hour penalties. The pattern extends to workplace safety, with OSHA citations issued in 2015, 2017, and 2021 for violations such as failing to protect propane tanks from vehicular traffic. While individual OSHA penalties are often capped by statute, the recurrence across years and jurisdictions indicates systemic compliance issues. Further litigation history includes a jury finding that Lennar’s defective use of synthetic stucco (EIFS) in home construction created “an imminent threat to the health or safety” of homeowners, highlighting consumer safety failures. This multi-domain record of penalties and adverse findings demonstrates a repeated disregard for regulatory standards.

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.
