Companies across all sectors use private security services to ensure the safety of their people, their activities and their assets. Private-security-related adverse human rights impacts can impact the businesses’ operational continuity, sustainability, long term value creation and short-term share price thus threatening investment returns. As fiduciaries, institutional investors, including pension plan trustees and investment managers, are obligated to identify and mitigate these potential adverse impacts.
The objectives of the Investor ESG Guide on Private Security and Human Rights are to:
1. Increase awareness of the human rights risks associated with investments in companies that utilise private security providers;
2. Support investment firms in addressing these risks throughout the investment lifecycle with ten recommended actions.
