Trinity Financial Advisors has dumped all Playboy shares following our call to divest from the pornography empire. The Ohio-based company first reported ownership of Playboy stock - 22k shares - in June 2024.
Playboy has a long history of sexually exploiting not only women, but girls too. Playboy published nude and pornographic images of young girls (Read: “Premeditated eroticisation of children” - Playboy’s dark history of sexually exploiting girls).
We were surprised to see Trinity's name on the list of Playboy shareholders after discovering it had a strong community focus and supported several Christian organisations.
We first wrote to CEO Geoffrey Biehn in July 2024, with a follow up in August. When we didn't get a response, Coralie Alison, our Movement Coordinator, reached out to Geoffrey on LinkedIn. He responded to say that Trinity would sell their shares immediately.
We're pleased to see another shareholder divest from Playboy - you can read about some of the others here. Sexploitation has no business in anyone's investment portfolio.
