Acquired Credit Suisse in 2023, a bank with very poor governance which aided clients with tax evasion and money laundering. As a result, UBS has inherited ongoing regulatory fines and lawsuits relating to these failures.

Where a company is complicit in its products or services enabling violations of the Geneva Convention and infringement of the rights of individuals in war or conflict situations.
Part of the conglomerate Adani Group, the company entered into a partnership with the Myanmar military to develop a new port.

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.
Meta is the world’s largest online social network consisting of the Facebook app, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and many features surrounding these products.

Meta has also been criticised for its poor governance model, as well as allowing its platform in non-English speaking countries to be used to incite ethnic violence.

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.
