At the moment these criteria don’t include animal cruelty, exploitation or abuse. Cruelty Free Investing, a 501C3 non-profit organization launched today, aims to fill that gap by providing resources for individual and institutional investors and financial advisors to help them make decisions in line with their values. Every single publicly-traded corporation on NASDAQ, NYSE and NYSE American (formerly AMEX) appears in one of two lists on Cruelty Free Investing’s website: Companies that do exploit animals, and companies that don’t. Investors can click on the name of each company to find out how it does or doesn’t exploit animals. As animal cruelty and exploitation continues to be exposed in the media, as well as on social media, we are seeing a new generation of investors and finance industry professionals seeking truly ethical options.
