Purpose of this Document
This document explains the framework, the rules and the process AIM uses to classify publicly listed companies according to how much their business kills or harms animals.
In today’s connected economy, almost no company is completely free from causing some harm. The aim is therefore not to find companies that are 100% ahimsak, but to help investors send their money towards companies that cause relatively less harm to animals — and away from those that cause more.
Our scoring process involves meticulous research into a company’s operations, including:
- Business activities and revenue sources.
- Use of raw materials, ensuring no animal-derived ingredients.
- Manufacturing processes for potential animal exploitation.
Using AIM’s AQ framework, we provide transparent and reliable scores to empower you to make informed, ethical investment decisions.
