En ny rapport fra NGO’en ShareAction konkluderer, at verdens største kapitalforvaltere konsekvent fejler, når det gælder ansvarlige investeringer, der beskytter klima, biodiversitet og mennesker.
Rapporten rangerer 77 af verdens største kapitalforvalterne efter deres investeringspraksis på områderne selskabsledelse, aktivt ejerskab, klima, biodiversitet og sociale forhold.
Ifølge undersøgelsen scorer 66 % af de undersøgte kapitalforvaltere, herunder Blackrock, Vanguard, Fidelity Investments og State Street Global Advisors, lavt på ansvarlige investeringer, som indikerer alvorlige problemer i deres ansvarlige investeringspolitikker og praksis.
Claudia Gray, Head of Financial Sector Research hos ShareAction, udtaler: “A majority of the world’s largest asset managers are failing to meet even basic criteria, let alone take the steps needed to help protect people and planet for generations to come.”
Hun tilføjer: “The impact of the decisions these asset managers make cannot be understated. As managers of tens of trillions of dollars, and investors in the biggest companies from many industries, their decisions have a vast impact all over the world. They should be considering their effects on our climate, the ecosystems providing our life-support systems, and human wellbeing worldwide. These problems create real risks for the big companies and their investors, but as our research has uncovered, there remains a lack of ambition to drive real-world improvements.”
