This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
DT Midstream is an owner, operator, and developer of natural gas interstate and intrastate pipelines, storage and gathering systems, and compression facilities. The company’s business is centered on the transportation and storage of fossil fuels. In late 2024, it expanded its network by acquiring three Midwestern natural gas pipeline systems.
The company’s operations involve ongoing legal and regulatory proceedings inherent to pipeline infrastructure development. A 2024 Louisiana Court of Appeal case, *ETC Tiger Pipeline, LLC v. DT Midstream, Inc.*, dealt with the limitations of exclusive servitude rights for pipeline operations.
DT Midstream owns and operates an integrated portfolio of natural gas interstate and intrastate pipelines, storage systems, and gathering assets. Its core business is the transportation, storage, and processing of fossil fuels, deriving its revenue from firm and interruptible pipeline and storage services. The company was spun off from DTE Energy in July 2021.
In early 2026, DT Midstream was engaged in active pipeline expansion, successfully appealing a Louisiana court ruling to proceed with constructing a natural gas pipeline that crosses under a rival line owned by Energy Transfer. This legal victory underscores the company's ongoing investment in new fossil fuel infrastructure. The company's operations are centered on natural gas, a fossil fuel, with no announced plan to transition its core midstream business away from fossil fuels.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
