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.
Prime Medicine is a preclinical-stage biotechnology company developing gene-editing therapies. Its research and development pipeline relies on animal testing to generate preclinical data, including toxicology studies, as disclosed in its SEC filings. The company’s business model is built on advancing therapeutic candidates through stages that necessitate animal experimentation.
While specific details of Prime Medicine’s animal testing protocols are not publicly documented in the provided sources, its operational status as a biopharmaceutical company places it within an industry sector where animal use is a standard, integral component of the drug development process. The absence of a publicly stated commitment to alternative testing methods or a clear policy on animal welfare underscores its reliance on this practice.

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.
