Pemex 1.02%
Environmental Damage
Where companies, through their products or operations, are involved in environmental degradation e.g., pollution, chemical spills.
Fossil Fuel Production
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.

-
The Boeing Co. 0.19%
Controversial Weapons
Where companies are involved in the manufacturing or retail of controversial weapons (e.g., landmines and cluster munitions) or components or services thereof.
Military Weapons
Where companies derive revenue from the manufacturing of weapons or weapon components and services to the defence industry. We do not include non-weapons-related military support.
Nuclear Weapons
Where companies are involved in the manufacturing or sale of nuclear weapons or components or services thereof.
Public Safety

THE BOEING CO. Controversial Weapons Military Weapons Nuclear Weapons Public Safety
The largest supplier of weapons to Israel, particularly missile guidance systems, bombs, and aircraft. There is evidence these weapons and weapons components have been used by the Israeli military in Gaza and linked to severe suffering and human rights violations. In addition, Boeing has experienced a high frequency of issues and accidents, particularly involving the 737 Max and Dreamliner models. This situation indicates systemic issues with safety culture with serious consequences.
