keywords

For many years now tech stocks have been under scrutiny in relation to the human rights implications of their products and services, with a focus on the potential for human rights risks or other social harms.  

As a result, fund managers and activist organisations are increasingly having ongoing dialogues with tech companies around these issues and in some cases file shareholder proposals to change company behaviour.

The rapid development of technology is certainly accelerating the debate around digital human rights and the approach of fund managers toward investments. 

But what does this mean for investors and what role do advisers play?

This report is worth 30 minutes of CPD.
