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.
Talos Energy Inc. is an independent exploration and production company whose core business is the upstream extraction of oil and natural gas. The company operates exclusively offshore, focusing on exploration and production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and offshore Mexico. Its financial results and corporate filings demonstrate a business model centered on finding, developing, and producing fossil fuels, with no announced plan to phase out these core operations.
Talos Energy Inc. is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company operating primarily in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Its core business involves offshore drilling and hydrocarbon extraction, activities with inherent and documented risks of environmental damage, including oil spills and toxic contamination of marine ecosystems.
The company's operations are subject to regulatory oversight from agencies like the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). Its public filings and sustainability reports routinely disclose material risks related to environmental incidents, including potential liability for "environmental cleanup costs, personal injury and property damage and fines." While Talos publishes sustainability reports detailing emissions reductions and environmental management programs, the fundamental nature of its offshore drilling business continues to pose a significant risk of documented environmental destruction, such as spills or contamination, which falls under this conduct-based exclusion.

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.
