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.

SAI Tech is a Singapore based company that has many projects in development, but none are commercial as far as we can tell. The closest to a climate solution is a device that could allow computer server computation to operate more efficiently. They are also working on small scale nuclear reactors.

Gemilang is a Malaysian manufacturer of buses that help enable the climate solution of mass transportation. They also make an increasing part of their revenue from electric buses.

Perak Transit owns multiple public transit hubs in Malaysia, thus making it easier for people to choose mass transit instead of driving in individual cars.

Everwoods Green Resources is a farming company in the Philippines that generates a majority of its revenue from traditional agriculture, so we therefore exclude them. They have limited cultivation of bamboo for use in products, which is a climate solution.

SBS Transit is a Singapore based provider of public transit that owns over 200 bus lines and a subway system, thus enabling individuals to transport themselves far more efficiently than in cars.

PT VKTR is an Indonesian manufacturer of electric buses, electric motorcycles, and charging stations.

ATP 30 is a Thai provider of mass transit bus services in Thailand. By providing bus and shuttle service, they reduce the demand for single-occupancy cars on the road, a far less energy efficient mode of transport.

Epicon is a Malaysian provider of bus services that enables people there to move from point A to point B with fewer fossil fuels than if they were driving in a car.

West Coach Station is a Vietnamese provider of bus transportation in Vietnam. They enable people to get around in a far more energy efficient manner than using a car.

ComfortDelGro is a multinational vehicle fleet owner. Based in Singapore they own over 15,000 vehicles. Some of which are buses, but others are taxis and other forms of individual transportation. Because we do not know how much from each, we exclude them.

Bangkok Expressway and Metro is a state-owned company that has the right to build and operate a series of expressways and rail lines in and around Bangkok. They do not disclose how much revenue they make from their expressways vs. railways, so we exclude them.
