Norway wealth fund can no longer invest in security firm G4S

Thu, 14th Nov 2019 09:00

OSLO, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Norway's $1.1 trillion wealth fund,
the world's largest, can no longer invest in security services
firm G4S because of the "unacceptable risk that the
company contributes to, or is responsible, for serious or
systematic human rights violations," the central bank said in a
statement.

The fund has an ethical profile and excludes companies from
its investments for what it deems are ethical breaches.

G4S had no immediate comment.
