What criteria are used to screen Northrop Grumman for Catholic investors?▾
The screen applies the "will not invest" policies of the USCCB Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines (2021). Companies involved in abortion, euthanasia or assisted suicide, IVF, embryo and fetal research, human cloning, gender-transition procedures or weapons of mass destruction fail, and so do makers of contraceptives. Selling contraceptives fails above 10% of revenue; producing pornography, gambling, tobacco and recreational cannabis fail as a main business. Distributing pornography and making conventional weapons cost points instead. News is never used.
