Report on ethical investment to be presented to UCL Council tomorrow




Andrew Fernando, Education and Welfare Officer at UCL Student Union confirmed to me today on the phone that he believes that Edwin Glasgow will present his report on ethical investment at UCL to the UCL Council tomorrow.

We will post news on this here - so keep checking this site

The proposal at UCL comes weeks after Oxford University has published a "Report of the Working Group set up to consider the implementation of a Socially Responsible Investment Policy." Contact us at info@disarmucl.com for a copy of the Oxford report.

The Disarm UCL campaign and UCL Union call on the UCL Council to:
  • IMMEDIATELY DIVEST FROM ARMS TRADER COBHAM PLC
  • make the timetable for developing an ethical investment policy clear and publicly available
  • give a formal consultative role for students and alumni in the process of developing and monitoring an ethical investment policy for UCL
