Hammersmith and Fulham Council Pension Fund to divest from arms companies
Petition published by Robin Yu on Jun 19, 2008
Target: Hammersmith & Fulham Council Pension Fund Committee
Region: United Kingdom
Web site: http://caat.org.uk/
Petition Background (Preamble):
Hammersmith & Fulham Council Pension Fund holds approximately one million pounds worth of shares in arms companies.
London boasts a proud history of celebrating diversity yet Hammersmith & Fulham Council's investments support companies whose business fuels conflict in areas that its residents have fled. How can this be defended?
Hammersmith & Fulham should set standards that the rest of London can follow by divesting from this killing trade and putting the money into ethical investments.

Petition:
We, the undersigned, are dismayed that Hammersmith & Fulham Council Pension Fund holdsapproximately £1 million of investments in arms companies, despite the indiscriminate nature of their deadly business.
We petition the pension fund committee to divest from all companies involved in the manufacture and sale of arms and equipment with a military purpose.
