Ethics in action: how we think about nuclear

Nuclear’s unresolved risks outweigh its potential benefits. Guided by our principles, we invest in renewables and sustainable businesses for lasting impact.

At U Ethical, our investment process has always been guided by clear values. Since 1985, this has meant a consistent exclusion of nuclear energy, weapons, and uranium mining.

While some view nuclear as a transition technology, we believe the unresolved environmental, humanitarian, and geopolitical risks outweigh the benefits. Instead, we focus on companies driving positive impact through renewable solutions, climate transition, and long-term value creation.
