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.
Organogenesis Holdings Inc. is a regenerative medicine company whose core business involves the development and manufacturing of advanced wound care and surgical biologics products. A key component of its manufacturing process for these products is the use of fetal bovine serum (FBS), a growth medium derived from the blood of bovine fetuses. The company’s reliance on this animal-derived material is integral to its production of tissue-based therapies.
Cruelty Free Investors flags the company for its use of animal-derived materials in product development and testing. The company’s operations are subject to various federal and state regulations concerning biological materials, which include the sourcing and use of animal components. While the company discloses regulatory risks related to fraud, abuse, and product efficacy in its SEC filings, there is no public evidence of a corporate commitment to phasing out animal-derived inputs or adopting validated animal-free alternatives for its core manufacturing processes.

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.
