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.
Gruma has not established a public, time-bound target to reduce its operational (Scope 1 and 2) greenhouse gas emissions. The company’s 2022 ESG report references a commitment to “sustainable development” but provides no specific, quantified climate goals, nor does it disclose a plan to align its emissions trajectory with the Paris Agreement. This absence of a clear, actionable climate transition plan, while the company operates energy-intensive grain processing and tortilla manufacturing globally, constitutes a form of climate policy inaction. Without a disclosed performance benchmark, stakeholders cannot assess the company’s progress or hold it accountable for managing its climate impact.

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.
