Adding petrol to the fire

A new report by the group Market Forces has identified a global list of 200 companies with the biggest coal, oil and gas expansion plans. This group of companies is called the Fossil Fuel Expansion Index, or the FFX 200. Every company in this index is actively undermining the climate goals of the Paris Agreement and impeding the clean energy transition by expanding fossil fuels.

Projected emissions from the expansion plans of FFX 200 companies alone would eat up more than the entire remaining global carbon budget for keeping global warming to 1.5°C.

USS’s latest investments show that as of 30th September 2025, USS has holdings in 54 of these 200 companies*. Far from addressing the climate emergency as they claim, USS is actively worsening it. Write to the Chair of the USS Board, Dame Kate Barker, using the following USS contact form to tell them to get out of fossil fuels now.
