Worst Polluter in a Supporting Role
Sure, big emitters are bad. But what are they without the unsung villains that finance, advocate and conduct the behind-the-scenes work that allows them to pump out pollutants?
Nothing! is what we say. With this award, we want to pay homage to these supporting polluters as they pull the strings that fuel climate and environmental disaster. We want you to be visible.
Our Nominees
Barclays
JP Morgan Chase
Oil and Gas UK (OGUK)
Strathclyde Pension Fund
Teekay Shipping
Here we acknowledge the companies behind Scotland’s worst climate violation: the continued exploitation of North Sea Oil!
A just transition from oil and gas is most definitely needed, yet 91% of oil workers have not even heard of a just transition or what it entails. We blame the government, media and private actors reinforcing the status-quo for this state of affairs.
But who will win this most sought after award? Will it be the old guard of big oil companies? Or the new guard of shadowy private equity firms?
Our Nominees
BP
Oil and Gas UK (OGUK)
Shell

Big Polluters are full of tricks and deception. One of the most well greased strategies, is to present gas as a ‘bridge fuel’.
Our Gaslight Award highlights the most committed peddlers of this wheeze.

Peel Ports
Teekay Shipping
INEOS
SSE
Shell
ExxonMobil
We venture into the world of agribusiness and land monopoly, for our coveted Farming Pollution and Subsidies Award.

Crown Estates Scotland
Buccleuch Group
A War Award
War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
Well, not nothing to some maybe. The business of war makes a pretty penny for those captains of industry who push and profit from war. Notwithstanding the obvious issues with the Military Industrial Complex 
, the business of war
also contributes heavily to climate breakdown.
What a waste.
