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.

Animal Testing & Research
Since Jan 3, 2022

SpringWorks Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company whose drug development pipeline relies on animal testing as a required component of the preclinical research and regulatory approval process. The company’s lead investigational compounds, including nirogacestat for desmoid tumors, would have undergone standard in vivo testing in animal models to assess safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy prior to human clinical trials.

Cruelty Free Investors, a screening resource for ethical investors, lists SpringWorks Therapeutics among “Companies That Exploit Animals” specifically for animal testing. This classification reflects the standard, industry-wide practice in biopharmaceutical development where animal models are used to satisfy regulatory requirements from agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The company has not publicly announced a commitment to adopt or fund alternative non-animal testing methodologies as a core part of its research strategy.

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.
