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.
The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. operates STK, a chain of upscale steakhouse restaurants. Its core business model is centered on the sale and service of meat, specifically beef steaks, which constitutes a primary revenue driver. The company’s operations are inherently tied to the commercial animal agriculture industry.
While specific financial data on meat-derived revenue is not publicly broken out, the company’s brand identity and menu focus on premium cuts of meat indicate this product category is central to its operations. The company’s SEC filings include standard risk factor language acknowledging potential liabilities related to animal health and welfare, reflecting its direct exposure to this supply chain. This exclusion is based on the company’s primary business activity falling under the commercial exploitation of animals for food.

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.
