Where companies source their power generation from fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) to generate electricity.
One of Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest electric utilities companies. Operates three thermal power stations that employ gas and diesel. In FY2024, 81% of the energy Contact generated came from renewable energy (lower than in 2023 due to a dry winter). However, at the end of 2024 Contact opened a major new geothermal renewable facility - the Tauhara plant. It is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.
Where companies source their power generation from fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) to generate electricity.
Produces electricity from plants and distributes gas. Is expanding its portfolio of renewable assets (wind & solar farms + hydro) and options to reduce emissions from Huntly (Battery technology and biomass use). However, in 2023 35% of revenue came from fossil fuel generation - Huntley Power Station (Coal & Gas) and sales of gas from the Kupe field.
Where companies, through their products or operations, are involved in environmental degradation e.g., pollution, chemical spills.
Fonterra ranks as the fifth largest source of greenhouse gas emissions among agri-food companies globally. This position is reflective of the heavy environmental footprint of the dairy industry, notably of methane (GHG) produced by dairy herds and other harm from intensive dairy farming practices such as through high nitrogen runoff into rivers, which flow into oceans.
The Summer New Zealand Cash fund invests in cash, cash equivalents and short-term New Zealand fixed interest assets. We aim to provide returns (before fees, taxes and other expenses) above the Official Cash Rate (OCR) over a rolling 12 month period.
