Stop Scottish Councils Investing In The Arms Trade
Stop investing in companies who manufacture or distribute weapons.
This includes direct investment and indirect investment through pension funds.
This includes direct investment and indirect investment through pension funds.
Why is this important?
Weapons kill people.
The companies that manufacture weapons profit from selling them to states which kill people.
A more peaceful world means less weapons are required which, in turn, would hurt the profits of arms manufacturers and the dividends of public money investments.
We should not be relying on dividends to help fund our local authorities when those dividends only increase as more weapons are sold.
This is morally wrong!
