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.
Lululemon Athletica Inc. designs and retails athletic apparel and accessories, with a significant portion of its product line derived from animal-derived materials. The company's extensive use of wool, down, and leather constitutes commercial exploitation of animals at scale. While Lululemon has published an animal welfare policy, its supply chain for these materials remains opaque and lacks the traceability and certification standards required to ensure the absence of routine animal cruelty practices, such as mulesing in wool production or live-plucking for down.
The company's primary brand, Lululemon, has been flagged by animal welfare organizations for its reliance on animal fibers without robust, verifiable welfare safeguards. Investigations by groups like FOUR PAWS into the global wool and down industries have documented systemic abuse, and companies sourcing these materials without full-chain transparency are implicated in these practices. Lululemon's continued large-scale use of these materials, central to its product offerings, places it within this category of commercial animal exploitation.

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.
