According to an analysis conducted in June 2020, around 83 percent of equity exchange traded funds (ETFs) presented as being sustainable had some exposure to fossil fuels. Of these, the environmental, social and governance (ESG) ETF with the highest investment in fossil fuels was the iShares ESG MSCI U.S.A. ETF, with 459 million U.S. dollars of their total assets under management being 'dirty.' While ESG is a broad concept which arguably does have space for investments in fossil fuels, some of the funds included in the list have names that seem to imply they do not hold dirty assets. For example, the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF held 46.07 million U.S. dollars of assets exposed to fossil fuels at this time.
