Global Climate Solution Stocks
2023 List

DSR Taiko Berhad is a large producer of Durian, a perennial fruit grown in SE Asia. We do not include them as we are wary of perennials that are generally grown in areas that used to be old growth forest. Even though they are perennials, the climate impact of cutting down the existing forest is far more negative.

PT Asia Sejahtera Mina is an Indonesian company that sells seaweed in Indonesia, largely for human consumption. Seaweed is an important climate solution as it grows very quickly and can be continually harvested.

Maxindo Karya Anugerah sells root-based snacks in Indonesia. We included them for a closer look to see if they could be included as a perennial staple company, but as the harvesting of the roots involves fundamentally killing the plant, we exclude them.

FT Eterindo is an Indonesian producer of palm oil that also uses part of their harvest to create biodiesel. While we do consider biodiesel derived from waste products as a climate solution, and palm oil is technically a perennial crop, we exclude them because how destructive the palm oil industry has been in removing old mangrove forests to plant its plantations.

While Cassava is technically a perennial plant, to harvest it and make tapioca kills the plant because it is derived from the cassava root. Given this, we exclude Premier Quality Starch.

Guan Chong is a Malaysian producer and processor of cocoa beans for chocolate. While cocoa is a perennial staple, the expansion of the industry often comes at the expense of natural forests, which is not beneficial from a climate perspective.

Long An Food Processing is a Vietnamese processor and trader of nuts, many of which are perennials. Because nuts can provide calories every year without needing to harvest the tree, we include them as a climate solution.

Axelum Resources group is a Filipino manufacturer and distributor of coconut products. While coconut is a perennial fruit, the expansion of the industry often comes at the expense of wild, natural forests, which move us backwards from a climate perspective.

JP Foods is a Malaysian producer and processor of cocoa beans for chocolate. While cocoa is a perennial staple, the expansion of the industry often comes at the expense of natural forests, which is not beneficial from a climate perspective.

Cartier Saada is a Moroccan company that makes a majority of its revenue from preserving fruits that come from perennial sources like olives and tree fruits.

Miniere de Touissit is a Moroccan mining company that mines for a number of critical minerals for the energy transition like lead and zinc, but they also mine for non-critical minerals like lead and gold, so we exclude them.

Ciments du Maroc is a Moroccan cement producer. While they do have some innovative approaches to sustainability like running their CO2 emissions through an algae reactor, they do not actually make any alternative or low-carbon cement mixes.

Jet Contractors is a Moroccan construction firm. While they do operate a business line dedicated to building solar farms, they generate the majority of their revenue from constructing buildings and highways, neither of which are climate solutions.

Managem is a Moroccan mining company. While they do mine for multiple critical minerals for the energy transition like cobalt, zinc, and copper, they also extract other non-critical minerals like gold, meaning they do not pass our mining filters.

TAQA is a Moroccan electrical utility. While they do use some solar and wind in their generation mix, they use about 10x more coal, leading them to fail our utility filters.
