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.
X4 Pharmaceuticals, Inc. conducts animal testing as a core component of its drug development and regulatory compliance process. The company’s SEC filings consistently disclose adherence to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) requirements and the federal Laboratory Animal Welfare Act, confirming the ongoing use of animals in its preclinical research. This activity is fundamental to the company’s business, as it develops therapies for rare diseases and cancer.
Cruelty Free Investors lists X4 Pharmaceuticals under its “Companies That Exploit Animals” index for animal testing. The company’s reliance on animal models is standard for pharmaceutical firms seeking FDA approval, placing its operations within the broad commercial exploitation of animals for biomedical research.

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.
