ROCKWELL AUTOMATION INC is screened out under 2 exclusion reasons spanning 2 issue categories.
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. It is a statement of values.
Rockwell Automation appears on the Cruelty Free Investing exclusion list. The company manufactures industrial automation equipment used across food processing, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods manufacturing — industries with direct animal testing and factory farming applications. Defense revenue is immaterial (less than 0.5% of $8.3 billion total revenue; $3 million in DoD contracts over 20 years).
In 2011, the SEC filed an enforcement action against Rockwell Automation for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations. The company made improper payments through agents and subsidiaries to obtain or retain business overseas. The SEC order (Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14380) documented the violations and imposed remedial sanctions.

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.
