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.
Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. is a global medical device company specializing in musculoskeletal healthcare, including orthopedic implants, surgical robotics, and sports medicine products. The company's product development and regulatory compliance processes involve animal testing. Zimmer Biomet's internal "Policy on the Care and Use of Animals in Research" applies to all its affiliates and subsidiaries, and the company states its use of animal testing is consistent with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements and animal welfare acts. This reliance on animal testing is a standard industry practice for securing regulatory approval for new medical devices, placing Zimmer Biomet in the category of companies that commission or require animal testing as part of its core business operations.

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.
