Tell BlackRock to Support Human Rights!
For the coming 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM) season, CODEPINK would like to highlight three shareholder proposals about human rights and nuclear weapons filed by faith-based investors represented by Investor Advocates for Social Justice. Proposals with Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and PNC Bank will go to a vote at shareholder meetings this spring.
BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, released a statement indicating that it would like companies to implement and disclose their human rights processes to identify, manage, and prevent adverse human rights impacts. Like BlackRock's statement, proposals with Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin request that the companies produce a human rights impact assessment report, while the PNC proposal asks for an assessment of risks associated with financing the nuclear weapons industry. As a top ten shareholder in all three companies, BlackRock plays an essential role with its ability to leverage its power by voting in support of these resolutions.
