As the world is facing an increase in intra-state and inter-state violent conflicts, the French Sustainable investment forum (FIR) and the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) are inviting investors to sign a statement to promote Responsible Corporate Policy and Practices on Human Rights in Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRA). Thus, in a context of high global instability, this statement, drafted with the support and expertise of several investors, NGOs and foundations, aims to encourage companies to adopt and implement detailed policies and practices related to their exposure to CAHRAs, which respect both internationally recognized human rights and international humanitarian law, and which comply with all applicable regulations, principles and guidelines. 32 shareholders, asset managers, financial industry international stakeholders gathering more than 1000 billion euros in assets under management, including the French Sustainable Investment Forum (FIR), with the support of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and expertise of several NGOs and foundations have already signed this statement, available here.

To sign the statement, please write us at engagement@frenchsif.org  with the name of your organization and the amount of your AUM.
