Investorinitiativet Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) lancerede i sidste uge deres initiativ ’Advance’, som samler 220 kapitalforvaltere om at forbedre sociale forhold og menneskerettigheder for arbejdere indenfor minedrift, metal og vedvarende energi.
Kapitalforvalterne forvalter tilsammen $30 billioner, hvilket gør det til det største sociale investorinitiativ nogensinde.
Som følge af initiativet vil kapitalforvalterne indgå i dialog med følgende virksomheder om sociale forhold og menneskerettigheder:
- Anglo American
- Nippon Steel
- Goldfields
- POSCO
- Engie
- NextEra
- Rio Tinto
- RWE
- Ørsted
David Atkin, PRI’s CEO, udtalte: ” Investors’ collective efforts can truly bring about change in the way corporate practices impact people. Through Advance, we aim to offer investors the opportunity to shape the way forward through more ambitious stewardship and accelerate action on human rights and social issues. From tackling global inequalities to preventing damage to the environment which can impact the health of people for generations, we hope Advance will drive positive outcomes for workers, communities, and society at large; supporting investors in fulfilling their own responsibility to respect human rights; and helping the industry manage risks to overall investment returns.”
