An Example

Under broad ethical headings such as `Armaments', subscribers can search 14 sub-categories, ranging from `Banking or investment relationship with a company criticised in this area', to `unspecified strategic services to the military'.

All stories on the database must have at least one subcategory attached.

The Ethical Categories function allows subscribers to see all the companies grouped under a particular ethical sub-category heading, thereby aiding swift research and company performance comparisons.
