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.
Teleflex Incorporated designs, manufactures, and sells single-use medical devices, including surgical instruments and catheters, that are used in procedures performed on animals. The company's products are referenced in veterinary surgical literature, including farm animal surgery, and its Percuvance System is documented as being used in laparoscopic procedures on animals. Teleflex is flagged by Cruelty Free Investors for commercial exploitation of animals. While the company operates a philanthropic foundation that awards grants to animal welfare organizations, its core business involves producing equipment used in animal procedures.

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.
