UBS has also been subject to lawsuits relating to its own manipulation of foreign exchange and interbank rates. It holds a provision of USD $4bn for claims (which may not be sufficient).
Where companies are involved in significant harm to individuals or communities, through the unsafe nature of their products or delivery of services and inadequate response to evidence of harm.

Where companies are involved in significant harm to individuals or communities, through the unsafe nature of their products or delivery of services and inadequate response to evidence of harm.
Johnson & Johnson is the world's largest and most diverse healthcare firm.

Several products have been associated with allegations of severe or even fatal adverse impacts on patients.
Where companies source their power generation from fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) to generate electricity.
Where the actions of companies have violated global standards on human rights and freedoms including customary rights of indigenous people.
Rio Tinto is a global diversified miner, predominantly in iron ore but also copper, aluminium, diamonds, gold, and industrial minerals. Evidence shows that in 2020, Rio Tinto destroyed Aboriginal 46,000-year-old sacred sites at an iron mine in Western Australia, leaving a considerable impact on the traditional owners from the loss of their heritage. There is also a pattern of evidence showing harmful community-related incidents involving Rio Tinto in West Papua, South Africa, Canada, the United States and Serbia.
Rio Tinto is also involved in fossil fuel power generation, as the company derives revenue from coal power plants through multiple associates and subsidiaries.
Where the actions of companies have violated global standards on labour rights and freedoms; including poor treatment of workers, child and forced labour, and modern slavery.
Uber is a ride and food delivery service provider. Evidence shows the company has been prioritising revenue growth over driver welfare and user safety. As Uber considers its drivers to be contractors, this limits their employee rights to the minimum wage and other benefits, meaning drivers and vehicles are not subject to the labour standards expected from traditional taxi companies.
Where companies source their power generation from fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) to generate electricity.
Contact Energy is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest electric utilities companies. Contact operates three thermal power stations that employ gas and diesel. In FY2023, 7% of the energy Contact generated came from thermal generation. However, Contact has announced plans for further investment in renewable generation. This includes NZD 1.2 billion in geothermal power, by constructing a new station and expanding capacity at an existing station, along with early developments in wind and solar generation. Therefore, the company is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.
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.
Operates electric and natural gas transmission systems in the UK and US. It also operates facilities for storing LNG. including the Grain LNG terminal in the UK which is the largest LNG facility in Europe and 8th globally.
Where companies source their power generation from fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) to generate electricity.
Genesis Energy is engaged in energy generation, trading and selling of electricity, and owns a portfolio of fossil fuel and renewable generation assets across New Zealand. Evidence shows that thermal generation from gas represents a significant portion of the company's total power generation (from the Huntly power station), and that oil and gas power revenues represent approximately 35% of the company's total revenue.
Where companies source their power generation from fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) to generate electricity.

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.
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.
Headquartered in Canada, TC Energy operates natural gas, oil, and power generation assets in Canada and the USA. The company operates nearly 100,000km of oil and gas pipelines, and currently has 2,170.6km of pipelines under development. Projects include Coastal GasLink.
Where companies source their power generation from fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) to generate electricity.
Endesa is the largest electric utilities company in Spain and the second largest in Portugal, generating electricity from a mix of hydropower, nuclear, coal, gas, oil, solar, and wind. Evidence shows that energy generated from fossil fuels accounts for 22% 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. Therefore, the company is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.
