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.
Tvardi Therapeutics Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company whose drug development pipeline relies on animal testing. The company’s foundational patents, such as US7517874B2, explicitly reference testing compounds in companion animals like dogs and cats. Published research related to the company’s programs, including a 2020 study co-authored by a Tvardi founder, describes standard preclinical procedures where animals are sacrificed as part of experimental protocols. The company’s regulatory filings acknowledge oversight under the Animal Welfare Act, confirming that its research activities fall within the scope of commercial animal testing.

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.
