It’s good to see the TPNW (#NuclearBan) given as a reason to avoid investment in companies like @Boeing- because producing nuclear weapons is bad business. ipe.com/news/dutch-pen…. 1/3
2/ Even though there’s been a call for additional investment in the weapons sector since Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year- many investors still stay away from controversial weapons, like cluster munitions, landmines and WMD (including bio, chem AND nuclear weapons)
3/ Controversial weapons is handy shorthand for those weapons w/ UN treaties prohibiting them- usually b/c they are
✅indiscriminate
✅disproportionate, or
✅leave a legacy of harm.
No country can hold onto controversial weapons indefinitely, so they're not good for investors
