Where a company has multiple ethical concerns, the total concerns percentage counts this investment once.

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 companies, through their products or operations, are involved in environmental degradation e.g., pollution, chemical spills.
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.
One of the world's largest mining companies, headquartered in Australia with operations globally. In 2015 Samarco (a BHP joint venture with Vale SA) caused the Mariana dam disaster releasing huge quantities of heavy metal waste into the Doce River basin. This is the largest pollution incident ever recorded and devastated communities and the ecosystem. BHP also mines thermal coal. While it sold some coal mines, it will continue to operate the Mt Arthur mine in New South Wales until 2030.

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.
An Australian oil and gas company with significant operations in natural gas and oil production and exploration. The company has plans for major short term expansion of exploration in Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Alaska. The company’s planned short-term expansion overshoots the IEA Net-Zero Emissions Scenario by 59%.
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.
Australia’s largest oil and gas company with the largest LNG production in the southern hemisphere. The company seeks to massively expand gas production in NW Australia, which will produce huge levels of carbon dioxide emissions over the next 50 years. Ecologists are also very concerned about Woodside’s expansion plans on important coral reef habitats.
