Revenue Sources

Pass

Based on WestRock's SEC filings and company reports, their revenue primarily comes from paper and packaging products, which are halal business activities.

There is no evidence of significant revenue from haram sources such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling, or other prohibited activities.

Even in quarters where interest expenses were reported, they represented an insignificant portion of total expenses, well below concerning levels for halal compliance.

Operational Ethics

Pass

While WestRock has international operations, there are no documented material ties to the Chinese Communist Party or the state of Israel that would raise concerns.
