“Do not invest our pensions in the cannabis”
“the Debaters: the AP7 fund’s behaviour is remarkable.”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“the DEBATE. State the AP7 fund has chosen to invest in two of the world’s largest cannabisbolag, canadian Aurora Cannabis Information and Canopy Growth Corp. This despite the fact that the AP funds ‘ own ethics council recommend funds that exclude companies. “
“the AP7 fund is the governmental alternative to the premium pension system and manage the assets that come from savers who did not choose funds. To the AP7 fund do not follow the Etikrådets recommendations and not land in the same decision as the rest of the AP funds is more than remarkable. Not at least in the case of investments made in mutual funds, where about half the population has holdings. “
“Etikrådet based on the recommendations from the conventions that Sweden has ratified, and if the holdings in any way violate them. In this case, such a violation is evident. Sweden has ratified the UN conventions on narcotic drugs, which limits the use of narcotic drugs to medical and scientific purposes. Then the canadian companies selling cannabis for private use they are not following the UN conventions. “
“According to the AP7 fund is an audit of blacklisted companies in the spring and we are assuming that companies that invest in the drugs wind up on the list. Both on the basis of their own etikrådets recommendations and the fact that Sweden is behind the UN conventions on drugs. “
“But even on the basis that we, along with the other countries in the world, working to achieve the UN global goals for sustainable development, one of the targets is to strengthen efforts to prevent and treat drug abuse – not to invest in the same.”
