The financing of arms companies is key to the production of weapons. The average debt ratio of the Spanish state-owned shellfish companies is 73%, similar to that of other industries.

If the citizen wants to make sure that his money is not going to be used to make weapons, ethical banks are the only ones that guarantee it.
