Companies of concern
Human Rights Violations
-
Saudi Aramco 0.35%
Fossil Fuel Production
Where companies are involved in the production of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal, shale oil) including exploration, production (including core services), storage, transport (except by rail) and refining.
Human Rights Abuses
Where the actions of companies have violated global standards on human rights and freedoms including customary rights of indigenous people.
SAUDI ARAMCO Fossil Fuel Production Human Rights Abuses
Saudi Aramco is the national oil company of Saudi Arabia and holds the exclusive right to explore for, produce, and refine the country’s hydrocarbons. It is the largest oil and gas producer in the world, and the world’s fourth-largest refiner. Between 2020 and 2022, the company spent on average US$2,199 million per year on exploration activities alone. After generating 4,345 million barrels of oil in 2021, the company plans to expand their operations an additional 45% in the short term (1-7 years), in both Suadi Arabia and Kuwait. Evidence shows the company is far from being on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise, as the company’s planned short term expansion overshoots the IEA Net-Zero Emissions Scenario by 57.2%.

Between 2020 and 2022, the company spent on average US$4,951 million per year on exploration activities alone.

Evidence shows the company is far from being on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise, as the company’s planned short-term expansion overshoots the IEA Net-Zero Emissions Scenario by 81.9%.

OIL & NATURAL GAS CORP. LTD. Fossil Fuel Production War & Conflict
ONGC is headquartered in India and engages in the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas. The company operates onshore and offshore fields globally through joint ventures and partnerships. Crude oil production has been the lead revenue generator, with Russian assets providing the most production. Production of hydrocarbons in 2021 was 402.6 mmboe. Fracking accounts for 98.2% of production. Expansion countries include Myanmar, India, Azerbaijan, UAE, Mozambique, Brazil, Russia. Currently 1531.9mmboe resources under development as of 2022. Overshoots the IEA NZA Expansion by 30.8%. Exploration CAPEX is 1287.8 MUSD (3-year average 2020-2022).
ONCG is engaged in the production of oil in South Sudan. Evidence shows the company is contributing to serious abuse committed to enable oil production in the country. For years, a violent conflict has been underway in the country, during which the civilian population has been subjected to acts of extreme violence. Control of the petroleum resources in the country has been a key driver in the conflict. In this context, ONGC participates in two joint ventures with South Sudan’s state oil company Nilepet. -

The Myanmar military has been linked to significant human rights abuses of Myanmar citizens. Although Adani Ports claims to have sold the port operation in May 2023, the Norwegian Pension Fund has excluded this company due to the lack of clarity about the transaction and information about the acquirer.

SAUDI ARAMCO Fossil Fuel Production Human Rights Abuses
Saudi Aramco is the national oil company of Saudi Arabia and holds the exclusive right to explore for, produce, and refine the country’s hydrocarbons. It is the largest oil and gas producer in the world, and the world’s fourth-largest refiner. Between 2020 and 2022, the company spent on average US$2,199 million per year on exploration activities alone. After generating 4,345 million barrels of oil in 2021, the company plans to expand their operations an additional 45% in the short term (1-7 years), in both Suadi Arabia and Kuwait. Evidence shows the company is far from being on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise, as the company’s planned short term expansion overshoots the IEA Net-Zero Emissions Scenario by 57.2%.

The company engages in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas, as well as refining and operating pipelines. Between 2020 and 2022, the company spent on average US$4,951 million per year on exploration activities alone. After generating 1,932 million barrels of oil in 2021, the company plans to expand their operations an additional 124% in the short term (1-7 years), across the globe in Australia, Indonesia, China, Kazakhstan, UAE, Niger, Peru, and Canada. Evidence shows the company is far from being on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise, as the company’s planned short-term expansion overshoots the IEA Net-Zero Emissions Scenario by 81.9%.

OIL & NATURAL GAS CORP. LTD. Fossil Fuel Production War & Conflict
ONGC is headquartered in India and engages in the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas. The company operates onshore and offshore fields globally through joint ventures and partnerships. Crude oil production has been the lead revenue generator, with Russian assets providing the most production. Production of hydrocarbons in 2021 was 402.6 mmboe. Fracking accounts for 98.2% of production. Expansion countries include Myanmar, India, Azerbaijan, UAE, Mozambique, Brazil, Russia. Currently 1531.9mmboe resources under development as of 2022. Overshoots the IEA NZA Expansion by 30.8%. Exploration CAPEX is 1287.8 MUSD (3-year average 2020-2022).
ONCG is engaged in the production of oil in South Sudan. Evidence shows the company is contributing to serious abuse committed to enable oil production in the country. For years, a violent conflict has been underway in the country, during which the civilian population has been subjected to acts of extreme violence. Control of the petroleum resources in the country has been a key driver in the conflict. In this context, ONGC participates in two joint ventures with South Sudan’s state oil company Nilepet. -

Enel is Europe’s largest electric utilities company by market capitalisation and holds a 70.1% stake in the energy company, Endesa. Evidence shows that energy generated from fossil fuels accounts for 15% of the company’s revenues. However, the company have announced plans to abandon coal by 2027 and gas by 2040, while investing significantly in expanding their renewable energy capacity. By 2030, the company expects to have invested a total of EUR €70 billion in renewable energy. Therefore, the company is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.
