Who profits
Hand-curated shareholder, revenue and investor context from primary public sources. This data is shown alongside the Climate Damage Score, but it is not used to compute it.
About this data. Institutional investors like BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street typically hold shares on behalf of clients; appearing in shareholder records does not mean they control or direct the company. State entities and individuals with majority stakes are different and labelled accordingly.
Emissions intensity
Above the curated-sample median (2.02 Mt = megatonne: one million tonnes of CO₂-equivalent/$bn): more emissions per dollar of revenue than the typical large emitter on record.

How it's allowed
Signals below are derived from emissions data and ownership coverage only, not from any legal or regulatory finding.
Climate Villains makes no claim that any entity has broken any law. These are data-derived signals, not allegations.
Trend
Attributed emissions are falling by about +5.5% per year. Attributed emissions, 2022–2024.
It ranks #38 mainly because its attributed assets emitted about 37.6 Mt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 8.2M cars/yr).
The Climate Damage Score is driven by that absolute size on a log scale, with a -0.6-point improving adjustment.
