Apple does collect data; however, it is transparent about collection and works to disassociate it from the user.

Uber Technologies, Inc. (2.49%)
Uber was a pioneer in transforming transportation. Instead of having to find a taxi, the ride came to you. Instead of watching the taxi’s meter, a price for the ride was provided in advance. Uber Eats is now providing people with more choices when it comes to food delivery. Furthermore, having food delivered to your home was helpful during the pandemic. There are concerns about Uber’s classification of drivers as independent contractors, rather than employees. Uber counters that drivers have “total, real-time control over their working hours, times, and locations of work.” Uber’s position is further defined at uber.com/us/en/community/esg.McCormick & Co.

(1.91%)

Aptiv is a supplier to the auto industry, providing wires and connectors that comprise a vehicle’s electrical architecture. Aptiv stands to benefit as electric vehicles are adopted. The company states it has $1,200 worth of addressable content in an electric vehicle versus $500 worth of addressable content in a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. The adoption of electric vehicles should be beneficial for the environment. An analysis by the Wall Street Journal in 2021 found that a Tesla Model 3 emits less than half the greenhouse gases as a Toyota Rav 4 (from the start of manufacturing through a 200,000 mile lifespan). Electric vehicles’ advantage should increase as the grid becomes increasingly powered by renewables.

Cloudflare operates a content delivery network.

In China, the government still conducts some animal testing on beauty products. L’Oréal has been working with them to end this practice.Grail Inc. Com (0.87%)
Grail’s Galleri test tries to identify more than fifty types of cancer from a blood sample — this test is sometimes called a liquid biopsy.

ARM licenses intellectual property to design microprocessors, or central processing units (CPUs), to semiconductor (chip) companies. CPUs are described as the “brains” of a computer or other electronic device. Arm’s CPU designs have historically consumed less power than competing x86 designs made by companies such as Intel, which led to Arm’s designs becoming the standard in cell phones. Today, the number of data centers are increasing as artificial intelligence drives demand for computing power. Arm says using its designs could save the major cloud computing providers, such as AWS and Microsoft, upwards of 15% their total data center power.Enovix Corp. (0.68%)
Enovix is primarily targeting the mobile phone market with its batteries that have greater energy density than current batteries.
