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.
Skechers U.S.A., Inc. designs, develops, and markets a global footwear portfolio that includes products made with leather, suede, and other animal-derived materials. The company is flagged by Cruelty Free Investors for commercial exploitation of animals.
The company’s BOBS by Skechers donation program supports animal welfare organizations, including the Petco Foundation, and has contributed over $11 million to such causes as of June 2024. This philanthropic activity does not address the core commercial use of animal materials in its products. Skechers has not published a comprehensive animal welfare policy or a commitment to phase out animal-derived materials from its supply chain.

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.
