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.
Old Dominion Freight Line faces a class-action lawsuit in Illinois for violating the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). The company mandated workers use fingerprint scans to clock in/out, unlawfully collecting and retaining biometric data without proper consent or legal destruction protocols.
Old Dominion Freight Line has accumulated over $6.2 million in wage and hour violation penalties across multiple federal regulatory records. Combined with mandatory biometric fingerprint scanning without consent (active BIPA class action in Illinois), ODFL demonstrates a pattern of exploitative labor practices spanning wage theft and worker surveillance.

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.
