Companies with fossil fuel involvement are defined as those deriving at least 5% of their revenue from the following activities: Thermal coal extraction, thermal coal power generation, oil and gas production, and oil and gas power generation. Companies deriving at least 50% of their revenue from oil and gas products and services are also included.”
