AkademikerPension has concluded that the ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, is in breach with our Policy for responsible investments.
The decision is based on an assessment that the ongoing conflict is not being conducted in accordance with international principles of proportionality, the protection of civilians, and access to impartial humanitarian aid.
“In AkademikerPension, we take a systematic approach to monitoring sovereigns against our Policy for responsible Investments. In this case, our monitoring has identified violations of human rights, and we have therefore decided to exclude the State of Israel and state-controlled enterprises from our investment universe,” says our Chief Executive Officer, Jens Munch Holst.
As of today, AkademikerPension holds no positions in the State of Israel or in Israeli state-owned companies.
