Caterpillar Inc 0.24%
War & Conflict
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.
CATERPILLAR INC War & Conflict
Caterpillar, a manufacturer of heavy equipment, power solutions, and locomotives, has a history of supplying the Israeli military. In 2004, Human Rights Watch reported the use of Caterpillar D9 bulldozers in demolishing over 250 Palestinian homes in Gaza, resulting in Palestinian casualties. Subsequently, in 2017, the Israeli military acquired numerous Caterpillar heavy engineering vehicles through a significant deal. The sale was financed by the United States Government, but the deal itself was between the Israeli military and Caterpillar. Incidents involving Caterpillar equipment causing harm to Palestinians have persisted, with recent instances reported as of 2023.
These occurrences include the use of Caterpillar equipment in demolishing Palestinian homes in illegally occupied territories, constructing illegal settlements and their infrastructure on occupied land, as well as building the Separation Wall in the West Bank and the Gaza border wall. Evidence also suggests Caterpillar’s products have been used by third parties in other conflict-affected areas, including Myanmar and the Western Sahara. Caterpillar's continued supply to these conflict areas raises concerns about its complicity in the misuse of its products. -

UBER TECHNOLOGIES INC Labour Rights Violations
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.

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. -

Chevron, headquartered in the USA, is an integrated energy company with exploration, production, and refining operations worldwide. The company is the second-largest oil company in the USA and engages in hydrocarbon exploration and production, refining, marketing and transport, chemicals manufacturing and sales, and power generation. Between 2021 and 2023, the company spent an average of USD $1,040 million per year on exploration activities alone. After generating 1,320 million barrels of oil in 2023, the company plans to expand their operations an additional 5,910 million barrels in the short term (1-7 years). Aside from Exxon Mobile, this is the largest amount of expansion relative to current operations of any of the major oil and gas companies.
Chevron’s expansion is proposed to extend far and wide across the globe, including in Australia, Malaysia, Brunei, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Oman, Cameroon, Nigeria, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, USA, Canada, the UK and Norway. 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 53.9%.

The company is engaged in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, as well as in the manufacture, trade, transport and sale of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products, petrochemicals, and speciality products. Between 2021 and 2023, the company spent an average of USD $1,355 million per year on exploration activities alone. After generating 1,630 million barrels of oil in 2023, the company plans to expand their operations by an additional 7,930 million barrels in the short term (1-7 years). This is the largest amount of expansion relative to current operations of any of the major oil and gas companies.
The expansion is also proposed to extend far and wide across the globe, including in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Qatar, UAE, Yemen, Chad, Angola, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Argentina, Guyana, USA, Canada, the UK, Germany, Netherlands, and Russia. 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 55.2%.

PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES CO Fossil Fuel Production
Pioneer Natural Resources, headquartered in the USA, is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company focusing on the Permian Basin in Texas. Between 2021 and 2023, the company spent an average of USD $2,085 million per year on exploration activities alone. Fracking accounts for 98.4% of production.
After generating 300 million barrels of oil in 2023, the company plans to expand their operations an additional 1,485 million barrels in the short term (1-7 years). The expansion is proposed in the USA. 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%.

Public Service Enterprise Group is based in the USA and supplies electricity and natural gas to customers, primarily in New Jersey. Evidence shows that electricity generated from oil and gas accounts from 15% of the company’s total revenue. However, the company is in the process of divesting from their fossil fuel assets and in 2021 they shut down their last coal-fired plant. The company now plans to focus on nuclear power and natural gas and has set a target of net-zero emissions by 2030. Therefore, the company is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.

EDP-ENERGIAS DE PORTUGAL SA Fossil Fuel Power Generation
EDP is a Portugal’s largest generator and distributor of electricity. Evidence shows that 12.5% of the company’s revenue was is generated from fossil fuels, including 5% from coal-fired plants and 7.5% from oil and gas. However, EDP have committed to being coal-free by 2025 and carbon neutral by 2030. The decision to shut down rather than offload their fossil fuel assets contrasts with many other energy companies who instead choose to sell up when faced with dropping profits or a need to improve their sustainability credentials. Therefore, the company is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.

ORSTED A/S Fossil Fuel Production
Ørsted is a Danish power company and Europe’s largest producer of electricity from offshore wind power. The company was previously named Danish Oil and Natural Gas but has now transitioned to generate 91% of its power from renewable sources. The company had previously set a target of ending coal generation by 2023, however, the Danish government recently required the company to extend the operation of its two remaining coal plants to June 2024, along with one oil plant. Ørsted still stands by an overall target of net-zero emissions by 2040 with an interim goal of generating 100% renewable electricity by 2025. Therefore, the company is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.
