MELBOURNE, March 17 (Reuters) - Environmental campaign group Market Forces has asked S&P Global to remove India's Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd APSE.NS from a Dow Jones Sustainability Index, citing its ties to the Myanmar military and role in developing a new thermal coal mine.

路透墨尔本3月17日电- - -环保组织“市场力量”(Market Forces)已要求标普全球移除印度阿达尼港口和经济特区的APSE。该公司的理由是其与缅甸军方的关系，以及在开发一座新的动力煤矿中扮演的角色。

Market Forces, which made the request on Wednesday, said in a statement that aside from Myanmar links, Adani Ports should be scrutinised for its role in opening up the thermal coal mine in Australia, and also past ecological damage at ports in India.

周三提出这一要求的市场力量(Market Forces)在一份声明中表示，除了与缅甸的联系，阿达尼港口也应该受到审查，因为它在开放澳大利亚的动力煤矿中扮演的角色，以及过去对印度港口生态造成的破坏。

Adani Ports did not immediately reply to a request for comment while S&P Global said it could not comment on individual companies. Market Forces is a Melbourne-based activist group affiliated to Friends of the Earth Australia.

阿达尼港口没有立即回复记者的置评请求，而标普全球则表示，无法对个别公司置评。市场力量是墨尔本的一个激进组织，隶属于澳大利亚地球之友。

The Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets added Adani Ports at number 14 in the transportation and transportation infrastructure sector in November, sending its shares up 6%.

去年11月，道琼斯可持续发展新兴市场指数(Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets)将阿达尼港口纳入运输和运输基础设施板块，排名第14位，推动阿达尼港口股价上涨6%。

The group aims for its port operations to be carbon neutral by 2025 thanks in part to its large investment in renewables.

该集团的目标是在2025年之前实现港口运营的碳中和，这在一定程度上要归功于其对可再生能源的大量投资。

Market Forces said that Adani Ports should be disqualified from the index given its subsidiary will build a railway line to haul coal from the Carmichael project in Australia's Queensland state, at a time when financiers are increasingly withdrawing from new thermal coal projects due to climate concerns.

市场力量(Market Forces)表示，鉴于阿达尼港口(Adani Ports)的子公司将修建一条铁路，从澳大利亚昆士兰州的卡迈克尔(Carmichael)项目运煤，阿达尼港口应被取消参与该指数的资格。目前，金融家出于对气候的担忧，越来越多地撤出新的动力煤项目。

"Investors need to have confidence that ESG indices take into account the full picture of a company's activities and the impacts they cause," Market Forces campaigner Pablo Brait said in the statement.

市场力量活动家Pablo Brait在声明中表示:“投资者需要有信心，ESG指数会全面考虑一家公司的活动及其造成的影响。”

"The signatories to this case believe DJSI has not properly accounted for Adani Ports' links to thermal coal mining expansion and the devastating ecological damage found at some of its port sites."

“本案的签署人认为，DJSI没有恰当地解释阿达尼港口与热煤开采扩张的联系，以及在一些港口选址发现的破坏性生态破坏。”

India's government blamed Adani Ports for causing damage to the environment during the construction of the Mundra port project in Gujarat.

印度政府指责阿达尼港口在古吉拉特邦蒙德拉港项目建设期间对环境造成了破坏。

Political campaigners have also questioned Adani Ports' investments in Myanmar, where a military coup on Feb. 1 led to the ouster of an elected government led by Nobel peace prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.

政治活动人士还质疑阿达尼港口在缅甸的投资。2月1日，缅甸发生军事政变，导致诺贝尔和平奖(Nobel peace prize)得主昂山素季(Aung San Suu Kyi)领导的民选政府被推翻。

The Adani Group is developing a $290 million port in Yangon, on land owned by the Myanmar Economic Corporation, which is controlled by the military.

阿达尼集团(Adani Group)正在仰光开发一个价值2.9亿美元的港口，土地归缅甸经济公司(Myanmar Economic Corporation)所有，该公司由军方控制。
