Gambling
The gambling industry is frequently criticised for contributing to social issues, including gambling addiction and economic inequality. Ethical investment in this sector can involve excluding gambling operators entirely or engaging with them to promote responsible gambling practices.
Fund managers employ various approaches to minimise exposure to the gambling industry. Some funds completely avoid investment in companies that derive any revenue from gambling activities, including the operation, management, production, and service of gambling-related products. Other funds implement strict revenue thresholds, excluding companies that generate more than a certain percentage, typically around 5% to 10%, from gambling revenues.
