Genting Bhd is screened out under 1 exclusion reason spanning 1 issue category.
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. It is a statement of values.
Genting Bhd's palm oil subsidiary, Genting Plantations, has been implicated in environmental damage through peatland burning. The burning of peat soils, a practice associated with land clearance for plantation expansion, has been documented as triggering air pollution exceeding permissible thresholds. This activity causes significant ecological harm, including the destruction of carbon-rich peatland ecosystems, soil degradation, and toxic haze pollution.
The company's operations are situated within a sector and region where illegalities in forest clearance for large-scale commercial plantations are a documented concern. While Genting publishes sustainability reports and holds certification under the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) scheme, the evidence of peat burning points to a direct link between its plantation activities and localized environmental destruction.

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.
