Five different fossil fuel screens are used to flag investments
Powered by As You Sow
Carbon Underground 200
The Carbon Underground 200™, compiled and maintained by Fossil Free Indexes℠, identifies the top 100 coal and the top 100 oil and gas publicly-traded reserve holders globally, ranked by the potential carbon emissions content of their reported reserves.
Coal Screen
The coal screen is comprised of companies assigned to the Morningstar thermal coal or coking coal industries, as well as all companies on the Global Coal Exit List with coal mining operations, and the top 100 coal reserve holders from the Carbon Underground 200.
Oil & Gas
The oil / gas screen is comprised of companies assigned to the following Morningstar Oil and Gas industries: Drilling, Exploration & Production, Integrated, Midstream, Refining & Marketing, and Equipment & Services, as well as the top 100 oil / gas reserve holders from the Carbon Underground 200.
Macroclimate 30
The Macroclimate® 30 is an exclusion list of the 30 largest public-company owners of coal-fired power plants in Developed Markets plus China and India. Macroclimate® compiled the list of 30 companies using open-source data on coal-fired power plants worldwide.
Fossil-fired utilities
The utilities screen is comprised of companies assigned to the following Morningstar Utilities industries: Regulated Electric, Regulated Gas, Independent Power Producers, and Diversified, as well as all companies on the Global Coal Exit List with coal power operations. We remove any companies in these categories that are engaged in 100 percent renewable operations, pure transmission, or otherwise don't burn or transport fossil fuels.
The Clean 200
The Clean200 are the largest 200 public companies ranked by green energy revenues. The dataset is developed by multiplying a company’s most recent year-end revenues by its clean revenue estimate, primarily sourced from Corporate Knights Research supplemented by FactSet, Bloomberg BNEF, and FTSE Russell data. In order to be eligible, a company must have USD revenue of at least $1 billion (most recent available fiscal year-end data) and earn more than 10% of total revenues from clean sources, which extends beyond energy efficiency, green energy, and zero emission and hybrid vehicles. We include banks that are financing the low-carbon solutions; real estate companies leading the way on low-carbon buildings; forestry companies protecting carbon sinks; responsible miners of critical materials for the low carbon economy; food and apparel companies with products that are primarily made of raw materials with a significantly lower carbon footprint; and energy-hungry information and communications technology companies that are leading the way on renewable energy. The Clean200 was created by As You Sow and Corporate Knights.
