The Controversial Weapons Radar provides institutional investors and asset managers with comprehensive research regarding company involvement in the development, production, maintenance or trade of six types of controversial weapons worldwide. The Controversial Weapons Radar sets the world standard for institutional investors that seek the highest calibre of professional research and scope of coverage on corporate involvement in these controversial weapons.

For nearly half a decade, our firm has conducted specialised research and gained extensive knowledge on the involvement of companies worldwide in the trade, production, research, or maintenance of controversial weapons. By initiating ongoing dialogue with companies that have any form of involvement in controversial weapons and consulting with multiple experts from the defence industry, NGOs, and representatives from governments, our analysts are able to review and improve the research methodology and the findings. The six types of weapons covered through the Controversial Weapons Radar are considered controversial because of the indiscriminate and disproportional humanitarian impact they have on civilian populations.

The Controversial Weapons Radar covers the following six types of weapons:

• Anti-personnel mines
• Biological and chemical weapons
• Cluster weapons (click here to see a map of affected countries and territories)
• Depleted uranium ammunition
• Nuclear weapons

Sustainalytics Controversial Weapons Radar provides investors with the information they need to perform a portfolio screen, identify companies involved with controversial weapons, or develop or complement a responsible investment strategy.
