Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Conduct Screen Environmental Harm
Companies with outsized greenhouse gas emissions, criteria air pollutant violations, or systematic failure to reduce emissions intensity — evaluated relative to industry peers, not in absolute terms. A retailer with an embarrassing carbon footprint relative to its apparel peers may be excluded even though its aggregate emissions are small compared to a power plant. The key questions: How does this company compare to its sector peers? Does leadership treat emissions governance as part of their job, or dismiss it? Documented by EPA enforcement, state air quality agencies, or emissions databases. Recency matters — genuine improvement trajectory should be weighed. Distinct from climate_policy (active obstruction/deception) and environmental_damage (non-air environmental harm).
