Better Health for All
-70
Scorpio Tankers' principal business involves the marine transportation of refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. These products, when used, are associated with severe and widespread negative health impacts due to air pollution and other factors. The company's service directly facilitates the distribution of these products, and there are no redeeming health benefits from this core offering, aligning with a -100 score for health impact. Consequently, 100% of the company's revenue is derived from activities related to products with scientifically established serious health harms, with no alternatives to these products offered by the company, resulting in a -100 score for harmful revenue share. Initiatives related to reducing operational emissions or ballast water treatment are considered environmental pollution control and workplace safety, which are explicitly excluded from the 'Better Health for All' value.
