Top asset managers fail to monitor human rights in their investments, says ShareAction

Almost two-thirds of the biggest asset managers do not regularly review human rights issues in investments’ supply chains, says non-profit ShareAction, and a fifth only apply social policies to ESG-labelled funds.

A review of 77 of the world’s largest asset managers has revealed that the majority “fail to comprehensively protect human rights”, according to ShareAction, which campaigns for responsible investment.
