LGPS Investments
Israel can only maintain its grave breaches of international law and Palestinian human rights because of products, equipment and services it receives from a range of companies and financial institutions. These companies either produce weapons and military technology used by Israel in its attacks on Palestinians, provide technology and equipment for Israel’s infrastructure of military occupation, or are active in illegal Israeli settlements, based on stolen Palestinian land.
LGPS funds invest in two ways: directly by holding shares in specific companies, and indirectly through putting money into investment funds, which holds shares on their behalf.
This database produced by Palestine Solidarity Campaign lists the investments of 63 LGPS funds in companies that aid Israel’s breaches of international law. It contains a mixture of direct investments, and investments through funds.
We are unable to list the complicit investments of every LGPS fund. This is because some councils do not provide us with adequate information on their investments in response to our Freedom of Information Requests. However, the investments listed below are indicative of the complicity of all LGPS funds.
