I think they're covering scope 1 and 2 emissions, but not scope 3. That is to say that they're trying to limit emissions during extraction, transportation of fossil fuels, and refining (and from the electricity those use) but not from when the fossil fuels are burned.

I can't believe we're still looking at helping pay some of the richest companies in the world to clean up a mess they directly contributed to and made worse.

Whoa whoa whoa! It's shareholder value we're talking about here! Responsibility is fine and good for people, but we're talking about the pocketbooks of the rich!
