JBS is one of the world’s largest food companies and exporters of beef from Brazil. JBS has been linked to allegations of environmental harm in its supply chain, as multiple sources have traced JBS meat products to illegally deforested areas in the Amazon rainforest. JBS has also been linked to multiple cases of animal cruelty. JBS suppliers have allegedly carried out intensive style poultry farming, which includes inhumane conditions and violent treatment of animals. Through its subsidiary, Huon Aquaculture, JBS has been linked to the inhumane death of seals by using explosives at salmon farms in Tasmania.
Where companies are involved in testing products on animals for cosmetic, personal care, household product, chemical and other uses. We do not include companies which conduct animal testing for pharmaceutical products, medical devices, biotechnology, human food, or pet food.
Where companies are involved in the production or distribution of highly hazardous pesticides, according to the PAN International List of Highly Hazardous Pesticides.
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.
Where the actions of companies have violated global standards on human rights and freedoms including customary rights of indigenous people.
PetroChina, the national champion that inherited the majority of Chinese onshore oil and gas assets, has developed into an international supermajor. The company engages in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas, as well as refining and operating pipelines. Between 2020 and 2022, the company spent on average US$4,951 million per year on exploration activities alone. After generating 1,932 million barrels of oil in 2021, the company plans to expand their operations an additional 124% in the short term (1-7 years), across the globe in Australia, Indonesia, China, Kazakhstan, UAE, Niger, Peru, and Canada. 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%.
