Where a company has multiple ethical concerns, the total concerns percentage counts this investment once.
The average total concerns of all funds of the same risk profile is weighted by the funds' investment values.
The average total concerns of all managed conservative funds is 3.17%.
Where low standards of ethics create harm because of poor culture and inappropriate incentives, inadequate governance and oversight, and incidents of bribery and corruption.
Wells Fargo is a multinational financial services company which serves millions of customers in 35 countries. They have been involved in significant business ethics scandals for false inflation, cross selling and misleading customers over a period of 2002 to 2016.
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 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, 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, 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.
